List miracle properly install on Linux
Filed under: Thoughts;No Comments
Earlier I have already brought the news that the very popular task management miracle List now available for Linux. I finally had some time now I watch the program closely. List wonders for Linux can be downloaded from the homepage of the first operator. The program is offered in binary form, although the source code is under GPL and can be downloaded from GitHub.The binaries of miracles list are all statically linked, and bring a whole rat's tail on libraries, so that the download of the program powerful 80 MB in size, a huge amount when you consider that the “magic” of miracles List plays actually in the cloud. Unfortunately, no wonder list of neatly-built packages, but simply an archive containing the program files, but with a bit of manual work can be useful but install wonder list in the system. View
The program itself comes as a. tgz archive to you so that you can not clean install using the package management. I personally would grab me the current archive, opt to ship it / and then create a. Desktop file so that it can be started properly on the application menu. To help you work a little easier here is a step-by-step instructions for this action. The only requirement is that you have already downloaded and wonders list you have a terminal window open, where it is in the directory where the. Tgz file is list of wonders.
The following should work with all Linux distributions, because the libraries are statically linked list of wonder and / opt, even with all Linux distributions is available, there should be no problems. In a first step, so I would extract the archive to / opt and remove the version number from the extracted directory. So you need not adjust later. Desktop file once time a new version of wonders list will be published.
$ Sudo tar-xzf wonderful list *. tgz-C / opt /$ Sudo mv / opt/Wunderlist- * / opt / wonderful list$ Sudo chown root: root-R / opt / wonderful list
Next, you lay a so-called. desktop file in / usr / share / applications on. There all desktop environments, look for the applications installed in the system. Just throw your favorite text editor with root privileges.
$ Gksudo gedit / usr / share / applications / wunderlist.desktop
And then copied the following lines in the editor. If you need the path name as just described have changed, then change it at this point, absolutely nothing, simply take the entire contents of the textbox to copy and paste.
123456789101112131415[Desktop Entry]Type = ApplicationName = Miracle ListName [de] = miracle Listgeneric name = Task Management Toolgeneric name [en] = Task ManagementComment = Organize your life with wonders listComment [de] = Organize your life with wonders listIcon = / opt / wonderful list / Resources / wunderlist.pngExec = / usr / wonderful / list miracle ListCategories = Office; project management;Terminal = falseStartupNotify = trueX-MB-SingleInstance = trueX-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain = tasks[Desktop Entry]Type = ApplicationName = Miracle ListName [de] = miracle Listgeneric name = Task Management Toolgeneric name [en] = Task ManagementComment = Organize your life with wonders listComment [de] = Organize your life with wonders listIcon = / opt / wonderful list / Resources / wunderlist.pngExec = / usr / wonderful / list miracle ListCategories = Office; project management;Terminal = falseStartupNotify = trueX-MB-SingleInstance = trueX-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain = tasks
Then you're actually already done, if you call now your application menu, it should appear in “Office” wonders list with its own icon. The rest of the application should be self explanatory. If you already wonder List of Android, iOS or the other desktop OS does, then you will also deal with Linux.
