| If you're using the [[Bash Startup Files]] then run the commands below. Otherwise make sure that the values you want are properly set.
| |
|
| |
| ==Installation Strategies==
| |
|
| |
| If you're committed to GNOME as your desktop, you will likely install it in the /usr hierarchy. If less committed, or you prefer to install GNOME in an easy to remove location, the /opt hierarchy may be more suitable.
| |
|
| |
| == Installing Gnome into /usr ==
| |
|
| |
| Create and addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:
| |
|
| |
| cat > /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh << "EOF"
| |
| # Begin /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
| |
|
| |
| export GNOME_PREFIX=/usr
| |
|
| |
| export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/gnome/xdg"
| |
|
| |
| # End /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
| |
| EOF
| |
| source /etc/profile
| |
|
| |
| == Installing GNOME into /opt ==
| |
|
| |
| Create a link from gnome-2.6.16 to gnome to make upgrades and changes in the future easier:
| |
|
| |
| install -dv -m755 /opt/gnome-2.6.16 &&
| |
| ln -sf gnome-2.6.16 /opt/gnome
| |
|
| |
| Even though the env variables are refering to '''/opt/gnome''', '''''GNOME_PREFIX''''' should still be set to '''/opt/gnome-2.6.16''' as that's where GNOME is going to be installed to.
