Build Script

This script automates the task of building and installing the components of Mate desktop in the correct order. If there are packages available for you distro ( Install ) you should probably use those instead.

To use this first download the Mate-Desktop-Environment files,

$ git clone git://github.com/perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment.git mate --depth=1

and then run the base-clone (and optionally extra-clone) scripts.

$ ./base-clone.sh
$ ./extra-clone.sh

Make sure you have all the development packages listed on the Building page. Then save this script into the mate folder as base-build.sh. and run

$ ./base-build.sh
$ ./base-build.sh extra

This will install Mate into /usr/local. There are some variables near the top of the script that can be adjusted. To get Mate to show in you display manager you may need to run.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/xsessions/mate.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/

build-script.sh
