Getleft's install guide

You can install Getleft in two ways:


* For you own exclusive use in you home directory
* System wide install for everyone to use.
In both cases you can use the 'install.tcl' script to do
all the hard work for you. The usage of the script is:
./install.tcl
In a graphical enviroment, a wizard will appear to help you
with the install.
or in the console:
./install.tcl --prefix=/path ?--lang=LangCode? ?--proxy=proxyIP:proxyPort?
Parameters:
* prefix: It can be either '/usr' or '/usr/local', if you
think other paths should be available, please let me know.
This is the only required parameter.
* lang: Code of the default language for Getleft (en, de, es, ...),
users will be able to change it for their own use. It defaults
to English
* proxy: Default proxy to use.
* desktop: '1' if you want to create a desktop icon.
* menu: '1' if you want to create a menu entry for Getleft.
For example:
./install.tcl --prefix=/usr/local --lang=es --proxy=armando:80
or
./install.tcl --prefix=/usr --proxy=192.168.0.1:80
or
./install.tcl --personal=1 --desktop==1 --lang=en</b>
The desktop icons and menu entries are created by the Portland utilities
(http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/XdgUtils), but, since distros are still ge
tting ready for this utilities, they may or may not work for you. As usual,
comments are welcome.
Please note that you may have to log out and back in for the icons to
work right.
In case the shortcuts don't get created, you will have to use a console
and type either:
$ ./Getleft.tcl
if you installed it in you home directory, or simply:
$ Getleft.tcl
for a system wide install.
If you want to create a icon in you desktop, the program to
excute should be:
'/bin/sh -f /pathToGetleft/Getleft.tcl'
Please, let me know if you have any trouble with the script.
