pet packages Subject description: e.g. gnumeric |
|
i downloaded gnumeric. when i click on gnumeric, it asks what do i want to do with it? of course, i want to install it. how do i install it? if i learn to install gnumeric, can i install any pet package for Next Puppy in the same manner... or, do i need a different script for each one? thanks for your support.

When you click on the .pet, you should see "OK" and "Cancel" options.
Click on "OK" to install.

For "Next Puppy"... the choices are 1)add 2)view 3)open 4)close.
Add doesn't seem to do anything... and, "Open" looks like a script is required.
Anyway, thanks for responding.

To install .pets use open with & then type in petget or read below.
This is a little walk through for how to add installing .pets with a double click in emelfm2 file manager.
There are 2 pictures to reference if my instructions are not clear enough.
In image 1 you will see the right click menu for emelfm2 & the option for editing filetypes. click on that & you will see image 2.
As you can see in image 2 I have already added the pet option.
To do what I have done is pretty simple.
Step 1 is to scroll to the bottom of the Catergories column and click on the bottom item which should be object files so it is hi-lited in blue.
Step 2 is to click on the +Add button at the bottom of the screen as seen in image 2. You should now see a new item named new & it should be hi-lited in blue. Click on the word new & you should be able to edit the word from new to pet. After you enter pet press enter key so it sticks.
Step 3 is to click on the column named Extensions then click the +Add button at the bottom. You should now have a blue hi-lited item in the Extensions column. Click on that item & enter in pet then press enter to commit the item.
Step 3 is to click on the column named Labels & Commands. click in the blank area anyplace under Labels & Commands once it is showing a blue hi-lited item click on the +Add button at the bottom. Now click on the blue hi-lited item under the Label part & enter in install.pet then press enter to commit it. Next you will want to click the blue hi-lited area under command enter petget then press enter to commit.
Step 4 (final step) is to click on Apply then Commit at the bottom. (I am not sure if both Apply & Commit need to be clicked on. I did it just to be sure.)
If all went correctly a double click on any .pet should install the .pet.
Feedback is always welcome. I am no writer (far from it). I probably have grammer & punctuation errors in this. I am sorry if it bothers some people.
This is the normal thread for Next Puppy: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70758

pacer106... i followed your instructions. after i double clicked on the pet package, i get this message
>petget "gnumeric-1.10.17.pet" (7015)
cat: /root/.packages/Packages-puppy-*: No such file or directory
/usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh: line 38: /etc/xdg/menus/hierarchy: No such file or directory
EXIT="abort"
anyway, i have my gnumeric pet in mnt/home. looking at the above error message perhaps i should place the gnumeric pet into another folder? not sure how to find /root/.packages/Packages-puppy
any more suggestions for me? thanks
