| 104 | Before starting to install the packages in the following pages, remember to

| 105 | execute:

| 111 | Some packages may also install icons from the "hicolor" icon set. Since
|
---|
| 112 | that icon set is used by many packages, it is a good idea to create a
|
---|
| 113 | symlink to the one in <filename class="directory">/usr/share</filename>
|
---|
| 114 | to avoid having multiple installations of <xref
|
---|
| 115 | linkend="hicolor-icon-theme"/>. Run the following commands as the

|

| 125 | <para>
|

| 126 | Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
|
---|
| 127 | This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/lxqt</filename>
|
---|
| 128 | is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
|
---|
| 129 | class="directory">/opt/lxqt-&lxqt-version;</filename>. After installing
|
---|
| 130 | <application>LXQt Desktop</application>, you may rename the directory
|
---|
| 131 | and create a symlink:
|
---|
| 132 | </para>
|
---|
| 133 |
|
---|
| 134 | <screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/lxqt{,-&lxqt-version;}
|
---|
| 135 | ln -sfv lxqt-&lxqt-version; /opt/lxqt</userinput></screen>
|
---|
| 136 |
|
---|
| 137 | <para>
|
---|
| 138 | Later on, you may want to install other versions of <application>LXQt
|
---|
| 139 | Desktop</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and use
|
---|
| 140 | <filename class="directory">/opt/lxqt</filename> as the prefix again.
|
---|
| 141 | Which version of <application>LXQt Desktop</application> you use
|
---|
| 142 | depends only on where the symlink points. No other reconfiguration will
|
---|
| 143 | be needed.
