Write better README file for Linux binaries #151

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I recently downloaded Transgui 1.3-i386-linux.zip

It was a surprise that in README file there was nothing about procedure of
installation. Finally, after 20 minutes of googling and trying to find
helpful information on this site, I guessed that I need to copy the file in
/usr/bin folder. What is so intuitive about this operation? I've been
heavily using Linux for two years but this is the first application that is
installed this way. Actually, I was going to compile it from source just
because I couldn't find simple installation note!

You are doing a great job! And it would be great to see this application
becoming user-friendly.

Best regards,
Ivan

those using ubuntu lucid, here's an easy 1, 2, 3 (thanks to Andreas for setting 
up a PPA)
1. add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/andreas-noteng/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
2. add repo key
 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0A468C602EAFB68C
 gpg --export --armor 0A468C602EAFB68C | sudo apt-key add - 
3. update & install
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install transgui

Actually I would recommend using the newly created transgui PPA on my account 
because I often upload experimental packages to the other PPA, and sometimes it 
breaks stuff. The new PPA is here: 
https://launchpad.net/~andreas-noteng/+archive/transgui/+packages
The easy way of adding repositories to your Ubuntu installation (since Karmic) 
is with the add-apt-repository command (it will grab the needed key for you), 
so to add this ppa:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:andreas-noteng/transgui
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install transgui

Karmic packages will soon be available at the same PPA.

Thanks!

It would still be great to give a simple installation instruction in readme 
file.

Readmes here are still pointless:
transgui-1.4-x86_64-linux.zip
transgui-1.4-i386-linux.zip
