|
||||
1. [Download Wave](https://www.commandline.dev/download) and extract the file
|
||||
2. Change to the Wave directory ```cd waveterm-linux-* ```
|
||||
3. Run the application: ```./Wave```
|
||||
|
||||
While we work on improving the packaging for Linux, you can optionally create a `.desktop` file, allowing you to launch Wave directly.
|
||||
After doing the above steps, create a file named `Wave.desktop`, and add the following, modifying the `Exec` and `Icon` paths to point to your Wave installation:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Desktop Entry]
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
Name=Wave
|
||||
Icon= /path/to/Wave-linux-*/resources/app/public/waveterm.icns
|
||||
Exec=/path/to/Wave-linux-*/Wave
|
||||
# setting this to true will launch an extra terminal to run the Wave command
|
||||
Terminal=false
|
||||
```
|
||||
Run `desktop-file-validate Wave.desktop` to validate that the desktop entry is correct, then run `sudo cp Wave.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/Wave.desktop` to copy the entry into your application list.
|
||||
After restarting your desktop environment (or your computer), Wave should be visible in application list, and should be launched by clicking the icon.
|
||||
The `.desktop` file scheme is supported by most commonly used desktop environments such as GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc. If encounter issues, please consider opening an issue on the GitHub repository.
