Symlinks Issue: error Custom app "genius" not found. #2

Closed 3raxton closed 4 years ago

Glad to see this released! Currently, I'm having issues installing the custom app. Below is the output I get from running the command in terminal.

One thing to note: I don't understand how to accurately replace the directory name in the Bash command for Mac.

cd "$(dirname "$(spicetify -c)")/CustomApps"

Instead, I CDed into the spicetify folder and used the clone command within the CustomApps folder. Do I need to remove the $ and keep the parenthesis, or is there something else I'm missing?

Here is the output that I got from running mv "genius-spicetify" genius

I've got this working by putting it into the spicetify_data folder in my directory. Is there a better way to approach this?

I guess you did it correctly. If you don't have a custom config path enviroment variable, by default, the command cd "$(dirname "$(spicetify -c)")/CustomApps" would change directory to ~/spicetify_data/CustomApps. From there, you clone the repo and change just cloned folder name to genius.

Thanks for letting me know; that certainly helps. I appreciate your inclusion of a key in the code for Musixmatch as well. That’s incredibly helpful!

All good! I'm glad you're having fun with spicetify.

Honestly one of the best things to happen to my Mac. Don't think I could live without it! Thanks for putting in the work to make it this great.
