Unison-gtk

#1 Post by Bitdaf »

Hi

I needed a file sync app and I found unison. Then I saw that unison-gtk had a GUI (for Linux rookies like me no doubt!) - so I install it (apt-get install unison-gtk).

Great! Except that I can't find it?? How do I run it with the interface? I read the man pages but it's all about command line (unison basic).

I would appreciate a hint on where to find the shortcut to bring it up.

type unison-gtk in a terminal; all programs which are installed have components that end up in various places (as opposed to windows where a whole program gets a dir for itself), the program itself usually ends up in /usr/bin, there are more bin directories and each have their purpose

when a program is in a bin dir, you can run it from anywhere (your location on the filesystem, in a terminal, or via a run-menu from your window manager, or possibly even a menu entry for it)

Okay - thanks. :)

I found it in /usr/bin - and by double clicking it I was able to bring up the GUI.

Thanks for your help!
