Manual Installation hints

Since Script-Tools is made of alot of diffrent files, it must be placed in its own directory.
For some scripts and for best overall-user-experience i was 'forced' to use some hardcoded default locations, which are:

  • /usr/bin
  • /usr/share/script-tools

Once beeing aware of some basic rules, its quite easy to use one installation of script-tools within multiple installed distros. Even within an installation of a livecd.

  1. Script-Tools expects to be executed using the symlink: /usr/bin/st (will be created on first call of "/path/to/st")
  2. Which redirects to /usr/share/script-tools/st
    Where the script-tools could be a symlink to /home/.scripts (or anything else!) where the scripts actualy are located.
  3. However, using the installation script will hardcoded copy the files to /usr/share/script-tools, as the packages (generator) will not work (properly) otherwise.
    Thus it will not create a symlink of /path/to/scripts/ to /usr/share/script-tools, that is up to you.

Using the repositry on Fedora systems and or the rpm packages themself will do installation part for you.

Configuration after installation

Once installed Script-Tools is executed using "st".
To configure your first use, simply type: "st conf ig"
This will copy default configurations to your $SEA_LIB_DIR (~/.config/script-tools/includes)
And asks you do modify default username and default email, as well as your favorite applications (editor, browser, terminal).
This is required for best experience and interaction with the GUI.

To change your configuration any time later, simply browse the menu "st conf st" to change script-tools defaults, or "st conf incl|scripts" for your own custom scripts.

To change default applications or userdata, have a look into:
st conf st sys
To change default values for some modules
st conf st mods
