Installation

Follow these steps to install or update the program for a single user or system-wide:

1. Ensure that you have all of the required program dependencies installed.

2. Clone the repository to the home directory (i.e. ~/.kde-service-menu-reimage):

   git clone https://github.com/irfanhakim-as/kde-service-menu-reimage.git ~/.kde-service-menu-reimage

3. Get into the local repository:

   cd ~/.kde-service-menu-reimage

4. Install using the provided installer script.

   • To install the program for a single user, simply run the script as is:

     ./install.sh

     By default, this will install the program to the ~/.local prefix. Please ensure that the ~/.local/bin directory is in your PATH environment variable.

   • Alternatively, to install the program system-wide, run the script with sudo:

     sudo ./install.sh

   • Note that the installer script expects you to have the qtpaths command available in your PATH to make up some of the target installation paths. In case you do have qtpaths installed in your PATH but it is named differently (i.e. qtpaths6), or if it is installed outside of your PATH (i.e. /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qtpaths), please adjust the qtpaths_bin environment variable accordingly, prior to running the installer script:

     # to install for a single user
     qtpaths_bin=/path/to/qtpaths ./install.sh
     
     # to install system-wide
     sudo qtpaths_bin=/path/to/qtpaths ./install.sh

     Replace /path/to/qtpaths with the name or full path to the qtpaths utility you have installed.

Uninstallation

Follow these steps to uninstall the program:

1. Get into the local repository:

   cd ~/.kde-service-menu-reimage

2. Uninstall using the provided uninstaller script:

   • If you have previously installed the program for a single user, simply run the script as is:

     ./uninstall.sh

   • Alternatively, if you have installed the program system-wide, run the script with sudo:

     sudo ./uninstall.sh

   • Note that the uninstaller script expects you to have the qtpaths command available in your PATH to make up some of the target installation paths. In case you do have qtpaths installed in your PATH but it is named differently (i.e. qtpaths6), or if it is installed outside of your PATH (i.e. /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qtpaths), please adjust the qtpaths_bin environment variable accordingly, prior to running the uninstaller script:

     # if it was installed for a single user
     qtpaths_bin=/path/to/qtpaths ./uninstall.sh
     
     # if it was installed system-wide
     sudo qtpaths_bin=/path/to/qtpaths ./uninstall.sh

     Replace /path/to/qtpaths with the name or full path to the qtpaths utility you have installed.
