multi-linux-sephrasto-installer

Bourne shell script to install Sephrasto on popular Linux distributions.

It works on Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux and Void Linux - glibc variant. Doesn't work with musl, see tests.

A separate Python version is installed, which does not interfere with the Python installation of the operating system.

The Python build is placed in ~/.localpython/python-3.9.7.

The Sephrasto venv is placed in ~/.localpython/bin/venv-sephrasto-3.9.7.

The script Sephrasto.sh to run Sephrasto is placed in ~/.localpython/bin.

The .desktop file Sephrasto.desktop is placed in ~/.localpython/bin.

The log file from Sephrasto sephrasto.log can be found in ~/.localpython/bin/venv-sephrasto-3.9.7.

Footnotes

  1. There seems to be no distribution of PySide6 for musl. 😕 ↩

  2. This only works if you have previously run the build command. ↩ ↩2

  3. But not the installed OS packages. I'am not going to destruct your system! ↩
