Instalation

First of all you need latest version of Pike, you can obtain it from this site. Make sure that your version contains Standards.JSON pmod.

1. Copy BrowserPiker.pike to any of $PATH locations, most preferably some system one (for example /usr/local/bin).

2. Copy BrowserPiker.destop to $HOME/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications

3. Copy BrowserPiker.conf.sample to $HOME/.config/BrowserPiker.conf and edit it to your needs. This file contains sample configuration that works on Ubuntu 12.04 and 1920x1080 resolution. This file is required for BrowserPiker to work properly.
