Vysor Chrome Download Pc
Rosaline Lathrop
I have uninstalled chrome from my system ubuntu 16.04 first. I thought that the chrome applications would be uninstalled along with it. But I can see Vysor and Postman in my application list. I tried uninstalling by the command
When looking for a way to cast my android screen onto my PC I found out about Vysor through this Reddit and decided to have a look at it on the chrome web store and I found that not only is there a fake version of Vysor on the chrome web store, but also that you cannot find the real version of Vysor through the chrome web store's search function but that this fake version may, be a form of malware.
I'm fairly new to linux so I'm trying to understand how environment variables work. I used the aur to install vysor-bin. I ran the command (my pwd was /home/daniel/Downloads/vysor-bin/) sudo pacman -U against the .zst file. It installed Vysor just fine and I could launch it using rofi. When I tried entering the command vysorapp from terminal I got bash: vysorapp: command not found. So I wondered, "Where did the installer put the executable?" I ran sudo find / -name vysorapp and it returned two paths:
But that seems kludgy to me...it feels like an executable doesn't belong in my Downloads folder ya know. What would I need to do differently to get vysorapp to just run. What I mean is when I type touch into the terminal it's referencing something somewhere else not in my current working directory and I'm guessing that's based on environment variables. Any help would be appreciated.
You are right. Packages should not touch anything in your home folder. Ever. and by that I mean the package should never direct pacman to install anything in $HOME
How did you build the package? If you built the package in vysorapp, then all of the artifacts of that build, including the executable that is loaded into the package you are building will exist in the pkg directory. Your path does not include these pkg directories. They are merely an artifact of your having built it. Most of us have a dedicated build directory for this, I don't recommend using the downloads directory.
After you download the crx file for Vysor 2.3.2, open Chrome's extensions page (chrome://extensions/ or find by Chrome menu icon > More tools > Extensions), and then drag-and-drop the *.crx file to the extensions page to install it.
