Tiddlywiki Linux Desktop installation help

[kelsang sherab]

I am trying to install the .zip

unizzping the file went well.
coming to install with the ./conigure  make etc
the ./configure returns - no such file or directory.

i could not find any conifg file

hereś how it looks like:

~/Downloads/TiddlyDesktop-linux64-v0.0.8 $

this is what i get with ls:

credits.html  icudtl.dat  js                locales  nwjc    package.json
html          images      libffmpegsumo.so  nw       nw.pak  tiddlywiki

any ideas pleas what to do next

The zip already contains everything you need to run TiddlyDesktop.  cd to the files directory and execute the `nw` file.  should be all you need.

thank you Matthew
your suggestion works!!!
Still, as a point of curiosity - when I am in the terminal in the TiddlyDesktop folder and type nw to run the file it does not work.

The program 'nw' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install netrw

never mind though.
Cheers!!!

That's because in linux if you type '{any command here} ...' it by default searches your $PATH.  You can see your path by typing "echo $PATH", but the important detail is that your path does not include the current working directory.  So you have to tell linux I want the nw that's located at "./nw".  The ./ tells it look in the current directory.  You could also run it via "/full/path/to/nw" and that'd work.  And if you want to be able to run it from anywhere, create a symlink somewhere in your path, for example "ln -s {/path/to/nw} /usr/local/bin/nw"
