You can either install Fly-Pie from extensions.gnome.org (a), download a stable release
from GitHub (b) or clone the latest version directly with git
(c).
There may also be some community-maintained packages for your distribution, such as:
This is the most easy way to install Fly-Pie. Just head over to extensions.gnome.org and flip the switch! If you want to use a more up-to-date version of Fly-Pie, you can try one of the methods listed below.
Execute this command to download the latest stable release:
wget https://github.com/Schneegans/Fly-Pie/releases/latest/download/[email protected]
Install it by executing the following command. If you have Fly-Pie already installed and want to upgrade to
the latest version, append the --force
flag in order to overwrite existing installs of Fly-Pie.
gnome-extensions install [email protected]
Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
You should not clone Fly-Pie directly to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
directory as this may get overridden occasionally!
Execute the clone command below where you want to have the source code of Fly-Pie.
git clone https://github.com/Schneegans/Fly-Pie.git
cd Fly-Pie
If your GNOME Shell version is <= 45, you will have to checkout the gnome-3.36-44
branch:
git checkout gnome-3.36-44
Now you will have to install the extension.
The make
command below compiles the locales, schemas and resources, creates a zip file of the extension and finally installs it with the gnome-extensions
tool.
make install
Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
