## Installing Prebuilt
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Head over to [releases](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/releases) and download the version for your operating system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Ubuntu
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unzip the file and `cd` into the `lite-xl` directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
tar -xzf <file>
|
||||||
|
cd lite-xl
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy files over into appropriate directories:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p $HOME/.local/bin && cp bin/lite-xl $HOME/.local/bin
|
||||||
|
cp -r share $HOME/.local
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If `$HOME/.local/bin` is not in PATH:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
echo -e 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To get the icon to show up in app launcher:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may need to logout and login again to see icon in app launcher.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To uninstall just run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
rm -f $HOME/.local/bin/lite-xl
|
||||||
|
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/lite-xl.svg \
|
||||||
|
$HOME/.local/share/applications/org.lite_xl.lite_xl.desktop \
|
||||||
|
$HOME/.local/share/metainfo/org.lite_xl.lite_xl.appdata.xml \
|
||||||
|
$HOME/.local/share/lite-xl \
|
||||||
|
$HOME/.local/share/doc/lite-xl
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may need to `Alt + F2` and enter 'r' to see changes.
