Installation question #192

Closed gamesbook closed 4 years ago

gamesbook commented 4 years ago

The install says "To use the script simply download this repo, move into the repos directory" - where exactly would I find this "repos" directory when running Mint (v19)?

gamesbook commented 4 years ago

I found instructions elsewhere:

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/numixproject/numix-folders
cd numix-folders
./numix-folders

However, running the script and selecting a new color did not make any difference. Also trying restarting nemo with no effect.

So I take it your first question is answered?

Does it work if you run numix folders without the GUI by typing ./numix-folders -t?

Which folder style do you want? 4
Which folder colour do you want? Blue
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
Folder change complete!

Worked perfectly!

(note to self: always trust the command line...)

Indirectly, yes. It would be great if the front page was updated with these instructions to make it easier for the next person.

Well, as with any Github repo there's the Clone or download button. If you choose Download ZIP it depends on your browser (settings) where the file will be saved. Usually the standerd setting is the Downloads folder of your HOME directory.

Regarding question 2, does this mean the GUI does not work for you?

gamesbook commented 4 years ago

The GUI has not worked when I tried it.
