# OptimaLab35 Installer
|
||
|
||
This is a Linux installation script for **[OptimaLab35](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35)**.
|
||
It will:
|
||
|
||
- Install **Micromamba** with default settings (if it’s not already installed in the default path).
|
||
- Create a Micromamba environment containing **OptimaLab35** (installed via `pip`).
|
||
- Create a desktop shortcut for launching OptimaLab35.
|
||
|
||
If you do **not** want to use Micromamba or have it installed in a different location, see **line 41** of the installer script (where `$DESKTOP_DIR/OptimaLab35.desktop` is created) and adjust accordingly.
|
||
This script is **not** meant to be a universal installer for all Python environments - it’s tailored for my setup using Micromamba for quick deployment with a desktop shortcut.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Run this in a terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
"${SHELL}" <(curl -L https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35-installer/raw/branch/main/OL35-installer.sh)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Tip:** You can paste the URL into your browser to review the script before running it - you should never blindly execute random scripts from the internet.

## How to Update OptimaLab35
|
||
|
||
OptimaLab35 includes a built-in updater:
|
||
|
||
1. Open the **Settings** menu.
|
||
2. Click **Check for update**.
|
||
3. If an update is available, click **Update** and restart the application.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## How it Works
|
||
|
||
1. **Micromamba Check**
|
||
|
||
- If `micromamba` is not found in its default location (`~/micromamba`), it is installed automatically using:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
"${SHELL}" <(curl -L micro.mamba.pm/install.sh)
|
||
```
|
||
- During installation, **use the default settings** - just press Enter for each prompt (binary folder, init shell, configure conda-forge, and prefix location).
|
||
|
||
2. **Environment Creation**
|
||
|
||
- A Micromamba environment named `ol` is created (or updated) and OptimaLab35 is installed into it via `pip`.
|
||
|
||
3. **Configuration Setup**
|
||
|
||
- A configuration directory is created at:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
~/.config/OptimaLab35
|
||
```
|
||
- A logo image is downloaded from the repository for use in the desktop shortcut.
|
||
|
||
4. **Desktop Shortcut Creation**
|
||
|
||
- A `.desktop` file is placed in:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
~/.local/share/applications/
|
||
```
|
||
- This allows you to launch OptimaLab35 from your system’s application menu.
