Linux installation -- what's an app folder?

As per README.md:

Download the latest version for Linux on the releases page (and drag into your apps folder.)

What's an apps folder? :D

A bin folder essentially, basically a place from which you can call any command from.
You can even use your own directory if you add it to your PATH.
Check that article, it may help you. 🙂

Ok I did move the zip file into my /usr/bin folder but still pressing ctrl+shift+space does nothing. I tried also to extract the folder inside the zip to my usr/bin, still no luck.

Is there some more docs for this? Thank you.

So you actually need to find out how to execute the program.

Try extracting it into your home folder somewhere (like ~), then go into the extracted directory and run ./name_of_the_bin.

Note that it needs to be executable, check if it has the x permission by checking with ls -l in the extracted directory.

Once you manage to make it work locally, you will be able to move it to some app directory and run it at the startup of your distro. 😁

There are no docs for that specific use case, it's the usage of bash itself and how to execute programs in Linux. 😅
