Requirements

  • python3

Installation

  1. Create a directory to store locindicator scripts. It could be any writable directory accessible by your user.

    mkdir -p $HOME/Bin

  2. Clone the repo.

    git clone https://github.com/icamys/locindicator.git $HOME/Bin/locindicator

  3. Install the dependencies.

    This script requires root privileges to install (jq, indicator-sysmonitor).

    sudo $HOME/Bin/locindicator/install.sh

  4. Bootstrap the indicator.

    Attention! Execute this command on behalf of the user, that is running the graphical interface. Otherwise, the indicator won't appear. Usually, it means that you should run it without sudo.

    The script adds sensors to indicator-sysmonitor, configures it to run on system start, and starts the indicator.

    $HOME/Bin/locindicator/bootstrap.sh

Uninstallation

The following script will stop and remove the currently running indicator, and remove its configuration file. The restart is still possible with after executing install.sh and bootstrap.sh scripts

$HOME/Bin/locindicator/uninstall.sh
