==Launcher Setup==

'''''Terminal commands are displayed in code blocks.'''''

#Download the launcher binaries (found [https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1104891.tar.gz here]).

#:{{code|wget https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1104891.tar.gz}}

#Unpack the binary files (<code>.tar.gz</code>)

#:{{code|tar -svf evelauncher-1104891.tar.gz}}

#:'''Note:''' These can be put wherever the user prefers, but the home directory <code>~/</code> is recommended.

#Extract the remaining compressed files (<code>.tar</code>)

#:{{code|tar -svf evelauncher-1104891.tar}}

#Move to the newly-created folder

#:{{code|cd evelauncher}}

#For basic functionality, set the script as an executable.

#:{{code|sudo chmod u+x evelauncher.sh}}

#The launcher can now be run.

#:{{code|./evelauncher.sh}}

#Create a symbolic link (symlink) to the script in the user binaries folder

#:{{code|ln -s evelauncher.sh /usr/bin/evelauncher}}

#Download the icon file

#:{{code|wget http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/images/3/3b/eve.png}}

#Move the icon file to the correct directory

#:{{code|sudo mv eve.png /usr/share/pixmaps/}}

#Create the launcher file with a preferred editor

#:{{code|sudo EDITOR /usr/share/applications/eve.desktop}}

#Insert the following text:
