Installation

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).

a) Installing from extensions.gnome.org

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.

b) Downloading a Stable Release

Execute this command to download the latest stable release:

wget https://github.com/Schneegans/Fly-Pie/releases/latest/download/flypie@schneegans.github.com.zip

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 flypie@schneegans.github.com.zip

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 flypie@schneegans.github.com

c) Cloning the Latest Version with git

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

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 flypie@schneegans.github.com
