#Installation

The script is useful in the context of the current desktop user only. It is highly recommended to extract the script as the user you logged in on desktop - not as root.

#Get the files

#Git

Go to any directory and start

git clone https://github.com/axelhahn/dsf.git

This creates the subdir “dsf”.

#OR: Zip archive

• Download https://github.com/axelhahn/dsf/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
• extract it with unzip master.zip. This creates the subdir “dsf-master”.
• rename dsf-master into dsf

#Structure

After the installation you have such a filestructure:

|-- docs
|-- dsf.sh
|-- profiles
|   `-- .gitkeep
`-- readme.md

#Execute it from everywhere

Type echo $PATH to see current directories of executed files without naming its path. In one of these directories create a wrapper file.

In this example I create a file below my $HOME/bin. with a simple cat command that redirects to my new file. The wrapper contains 2 lines

• the shebang and
• the full path of the bash script dsf.sh … followed by $*.

> cat >/home/axel/bin/dsf
#!/bin/bash
[Installdir]/dsf.sh $*

Then you need to make the file executable.

> chmod 750 /home/axel/bin/dsf

Finally: test it. By typing dsf in the terminal you get a short output suggesting the parameter -h.
