Hi David! @Dassadar
If you downloaded shoes3.3.0.install into your Downloads folder or where ever your browser stored, open a terminal, and cd to where the .install is. then $ chmod +x Shoes-3.3.0-gtk3-x86_64.install $ ./Shoes-3.3.0-gtk3-x86_64.install
The first command sets the executable permission. The second command executes the install. You'll get a message on the terminal that Shoes was installed and to look in your menus for it.
In your home directory will be a .shoes/ directory and a walkabout directory in there. If you want to run shoes from the command line then you could type $ ~/.shoes/walkabout/shoes file-to-run.rb
Thanks, it works. However I cannot find Shoes in the "Open with" program list.
I tried to add a .desktop entry, but it doesn't help:
more /usr/share/applications/shoes.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=shoes GenericName=Text Editor Comment=Edit text files Exec=~/.shoes/walkabout/shoes %f Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=true MimeType=text/plain; Icon=accessories-text-editor Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;TextEditor; X-GNOME-DocPath=gedit/gedit.xml X-GNOME-FullName=Text Editor X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=gedit X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=3.10.4 X-GNOME-Bugzilla-ExtraInfoScript=/usr/share/gedit/gedit-bugreport Actions=Window;Document; Keywords=Text;Editor;Plaintext;Write; X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gedit
[Desktop Action Window] Name=Open a New Window Exec=gedit --new-window OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Desktop Action Document] Name=Open a New Document Exec=gedit --new-document OnlyShowIn=Unity;
=> any idea please?

Menu's are bit of a mystery depending on your Choice of desktop manager. I happen to hate the default Ubuntu Unity thing with having to search for an app, so I changed mine to heavily tailored Cinnamon.
Did you try the logout, log back in advice?
In ~/.shoes/federales you may find a copy of the Shoes.desktop - don't delete it. It's needed to uninstall the menus once you find them.. I'd does show a working examples for many Linux desktops - not yours apparently so I can't help much. . desktop file are also stored in different places by different Managers, often in /usr/share but I've seen stuff in ~/.share and other places.
where ever they are, they were installed by xdg-desktop-menu.
You can also choose a different window manage from the Login page - Maybe Gnom-Shell works better?
