Making an executable(or equivalent) that install the files

[mateowoetam]

I'm a beginner in Linux and also it becomes repetitive to install on every device with so many steps.
with a program that does it for you, one could download one file, click it and that's it, Halmak on my device (similar to the windows version of this), I would kindly ask that this gets developed for the different Halmak configuration like HamalkGL for example, as well as an uninstall executable.

Thank you.

Hi @Mathew420w0 that sounds possibly like a good idea. I just created this so that something, anything existed, it was just a quick fix that worked for me that I wanted to share.

Looking at it now, it looks like some simple "cp [file] [directory]" commands could be used to make it easier. On the other hand, it's only a couple files, so I don't know if it would be that much work if you need to put it on multiple computers (unless you have a lot of computers).

@Mathew420w0 you can use the following script. You create a file called install-halmak.sh and copy paste that code. You have to make the file executable (some distributions let you do that with a right click then properties) then you just have to execute it

#!/bin/bash
git clone https://github.com/mirrorsonthewall/halmaklinuxsupport.git
cd halmaklinuxsupport/
sudo cp halmak-linux/zz /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
sudo cp halmak-linux/evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/
cd ..
rm -rf halmaklinuxsupport/
echo "Halmak is now installed. Don't forget to restart your computer ;)"
