  1. Add the start_raw file to your path:

    • sudo cp ~/raw/LinuxLib/start_raw /usr/local/bin

  2. Make the start_raw file executable:

    • sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/start_raw

  3. Copy the RAW.desktop file to the desktop:

    • cp ~/raw/LinuxLib/RAW.desktop ~/Desktop/

  4. Right click on the RAW file on the desktop, and select Properties

  5. Click on the Permissions tab, and make sure Allow executing file as program is checked.

  6. Note: depending your distribution/shell, you have to edit the start_raw file to use a different shell. By default it uses bash.
