Research direction
Open the linked getting-started documentation and locate the Linux installation instructions. Update them to clearly describe the proposed /opt workflow, then verify the rendered page and installation commands.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The documentation tells Linux users to unpack the archive in their /home directory and install Processing in that location. While this works (and is shorter), it might be preferable to install the software in the /opt directory. Not only is /opt the proper location to install so-called optional software, but launch shortcuts will aslo be added to the panel and desktop.
Description of install process in /opt directory :
- Download the file to your /home directory.
- Open a terminal window, and type
tar xvfz processing-xxxx.tgz(replace xxxx with the rest of the file's name, which is the version number.) This will extract the content of the archive and create a folder named processing-4.0 or something similar. - Move the processing folder to the /opt directory using this command
sudo mv processing-xxxx /opt/ - Navigate to its location
cd /opt/processing-xxxx/ - Perform the installation
./install.sh
