Hi,

Is there anyway I can add this icon set to my system without root access? Perhaps install it locally? I do not wish to install it by a PPA or a .deb file. Thanks

The following scripts don't require root permissions: https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme#home-directory-for-gtk https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme#home-directory-for-kde

I'm guessing this is similar to downloading the papirus icon set folders from your git page and adding them to .local / share / icons ?

SmartFinn commented 7 years ago

Yes, GTK version extract icons to ~/.icons, KDE — ~/.local/share/icons.

Awesome, thanks! :) Btw I have to say this icon set is the best I've ever seen. Great job, I'll spread the word.

@captainraccoon2 we recommend install icon on root directory because some applications run with sudo not applied icon theme, for example synaptic

Ok, I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
