Install
If you installed the application via a package manager, it's ready to use in your system. Please follow the User Guide for further information.
Otherwise, first locate the extracted directory in your desired directory (e.g. /opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>
) and follow the steps below.
Desktop launcher
Execute the script file to create a Mattermost.desktop
file.
/opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/create_desktop_file.sh
Then move it to the appropriate directory of your desktop environment. For example, on Ubuntu Unity it's ~/.local/share/applications/
for the current user.
mv Mattermost.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Terminal command
Set a PATH
environment variable to enable launching from the terminal. For example, you can append the following line into ~/.bashrc
.
# assuming that /opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/mattermost-desktop is the executable file.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>
Alternatively, you can also create a symbolic link for the application.
sudo ln -s /opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/mattermost-desktop /usr/local/bin/
You're now all set! See the User Guide below for instructions.
