How to compile the source #126

Closed misaligar closed 7 months ago

misaligar commented 7 months ago

I searched the documentation but could not find it. How can I compile the source myself? My best guess is that I need to run setup.py file but not sure what parameters to use. Thank you.

I don't know if I did the right thing, but I ran

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

and it seems to be working fine when I run from the command line.

I just need to create a desktop shortcut manually.

I'm glad you figured it out, but I hope you did not use sudo at the install step!

misaligar commented 7 months ago

I did not use sudo! :)
