To integrate with your file manager...

Hi all
I'm new in Linux, and a beginner i Python, so I'm not confident with installing programs via command line..
I followed your instructions in the README, but I can't undertand the last statement:

Ensure that nbopen is on the profile path (not just terminal, e.g. .profile not .bashrc)

I mean: where should I check it, and, just in case, what should I do?
Thank you

To run a command, the directory containing it needs to be listed in an environment variable called PATH - this is how the system finds commands. E.g. if you install a Python package with 'pip install --user', the commands will go into /home/username/.local/bin/ , which isn't on PATH by default. To get around this, you can use a file in their home directory to change PATH, with a line like this: export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH For nbopen, you need to make sure that this is in the file '/home/username/.profile' . People often put it in a file like '/home/username/.bashrc' , which works for commands in the terminal, but doesn't work for running commands when you launch applications graphically, like by double clicking on a file. I should really improve nbopen so that this isn't necessary.
