Hi Randy, I’m not sure if you ever use the _Search_ function of this forum, the Magnifying glass/Loupe symbol top right of the menu bar, next to your Avatar and the burger menu, but a lot of your questions may be answered that way. Give that a go too, as well as asking on here, or maybe before.

Its always worth a look and check out different ways of asking the question. I just tried a few ways and came up with these.

> I am a Linux (Mint 18.1) user and I decided to try out Pinegrow. I am mostly doing development on NWJS apps at the moment. I was fuzzy about how to install Pinegrow, but being familiar with this sort of program I knew that they were fairly simple to make work. So I just downloaded PinegrowLinux64.2.951.zip and unzipped it into a temporary folder. I found the files that I expected, and just clicked on “Pinegrow Web Designer” and everything seemed to work. After looking the package over I dec…

and this one, this is the one I used before when I installed mine on Linux.

> Hello All, After switching to Pinegrow from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 16.04.2 I had to try to get Pinegrow installed but had issues. I’m listing a link to help others get installed and/or get advice/instructions from others on proper installation on Ubuntu Linux. Here are the steps I performed and Pinegrow is working on my Ubuntu Desktop: Any advice or corrections are welcome. slight_smile

now this link leads you too:

> <https://askubuntu.com/questions/931027/how-to-install-pinegrow-3-0-on-ubuntu-16-04-2>

and the bit of this you want is here

Its part 6

and goes like this

```auto

6:) Type in terminal:

cd ~  
cd /opt  
sudo mkdir Pinegrow  
cd Pinegrow  
mv ~/Downloads/3.0 .  
Cd 3.0  
sudo nano Pinegrow.desktop  
Copy and paste code in the example file ( Same location shared on Google drive link ) into the Pinegrow.desktop file

[Desktop Entry]  
Name=Pinegrow  
GenericName=HTML Editor  
Comment=Create Awesome Websites with Pinegrow  
Exec=sh -c "/opt/Pinegrow/3.0/PinegrowLibrary"  
Icon=/opt/Pinegrow/3.0/pinegrow.png  
Terminal=false  
Type=Application  
*Make sure to not add it, but let it be the only lines in the file

press CTRL+o to save file.

press Enter to save as default listed name (Pinegrow.desktop)

press CTRL+x on keyboard to exit and go back to command prompt

sudo mv Pinegrow.desktop /usr/share/applications    

```

Make sure you just do that in relation to what you have already done, the stuff before point 6 might well not be relevant to you, and change version numbers and location of your installed Pinegrow etc.

And, there didn’t USED to be an actual icon.svg file in the ubuntu installer.  
IT might well be worth the Pinegrow Devs putting up some instruction for installing PineGrow on Linux and getting the quick launch icon to work. Or maybe I too have missed those docs 😃

I hope that helps and check out the search function, I check it out every now and again, I find some good stuff.

Also, our current docs don’t really show up A LOT of stuff.  
SO ALWAYS check out the older docs.
