Local installation

To install only for the local user, the PATH environment variable need to be set to the specific path which will be assumed it is under the HOME directory.

Exporting the PATH environment variable is easy, just need a few steps:

export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}"
cp bin/feather_browser "${HOME}/.local/bin"

Copy the contents of the assets folder to the local browser folder:

mkdir -p "${HOME}/.local/share/feather_browser"
cp -r ./assets "${HOME}/.local/share/feather_browser"

Additionaly, the desktop file for Linux devices can be accessed through the menu and/or desktop:

cp assets/icon.png "${HOME}/.icons/feather_browser_icon.png"
cp Feather_Browser.desktop "${HOME}/.local/share/applications"
cp Feather_Browser.desktop "${HOME}/Desktop"

Remember to add the binary path to the desktop file:

Path=/home/username/.local/bin
Exec=./feather_browser
Icon=./assets/icon.png
