Issue

Failed installation following instructions

System versions: Mint 20

nodejs: 10
npm:
libusb:

Just followed instructions:

Install Node.js 6+ is REQUIRED (got it from Synaptic) From prebuilt binaries:

Download the latest from the releases (got your last release msi-keyboard-gui-0.2.3.tar.gz)

Linux:

$ tar -xf ./msi-keyboard-gui-linux*.tar.gz (doesnt work) $ sudo ./msi-keyboard-gui-linux-x64/msi-keyboard-gui (doesnt work)

I'm not very familiar with this kind of installation so I'm begging you, please update installation instructions or release a .deb optional installation file. Thank you for your nice work! Gifh

If tar does not work then definitely everything else won't work. Please explain why it "doesn't work" or I can't help you.

Thanks for reply SteveLacy. tar failed to work due to different name of the file downloaded, but even if I manage to extract all files, the second line give something like: Bash: command not found and I really dont know what to do.

List Every single command you are typing with screenshots if possible.

The commands to run are very simple:

Download: https://github.com/stevelacy/msi-keyboard-gui/releases/download/v0.2.2/msi-keyboard-gui-linux-0.2.2.tar.gz

tar -xf msi-keyboard-gui-0.2.2.tar.gz
sudo ./msi-keyboard-gui-linux-x64/msi-keyboard-gui

Apart different file name in your first tar command, that I can solve, the second line gives the same error. image Also, just a curiosity, why not version 0.2.3?

Gifhshady commented 3 years ago

image and this is the result if I change in the right directory

Gifhshady commented 3 years ago

Ok, after analyzing first screenshot, I noted the missing shared library, so I did sudo apt install libgconf2-4, repeat your last sudo and all work greatly, thanks a lot! Very nice utility!
