Ubuntu Repository is Here!
I finally did it.
Ok I know. I said it would take some time until the GM-Companion is released as a source package in a repository for GNU/Linux systems.
But investing so much time in trying to do it and then giving up was somehow not acceptable for me.
So I simply invested even more time and now finally it is here. At least for Ubuntu 17.04 amd64 systems. I proudly present:
ppa:rophil/gm-companion
To add it to your system, open the terminal and type
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rophil/gm-companion
Then to install the program type
sudo apt-get update
This updates the list of available software, so that the GM-Companion is available.
sudo apt-get install gm-companion Should install the program.
To start it, simply type gm-companion in the terminal and everything should (!) work.
Maybe it does not. If it doesn’t please open a GitHub Issue and report the problem.
If sudo apt-get update leads to an error regarding the public key, visit the wiki installation page.
I will add a possible solution there.
