Installation instructions incorrect?

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hi, I've tried to install this on my Libra 2, but it doesn't work - are the installation instructions accurate? When I download NickelClock-.zip the file is Koboroot.tar not Koboroot.tgz. Anyway I extract it, which gives a folder called "Koboroot". I have tried copying this to .kobo folder, unplugging and rebooting (doesn't reboot automatically) and nothing happens. Tried copying just the contents too. Am I missing something?

Are you on Mac? If so, Mac OS "helpfully" extracts the file for you, which is not what is desired in this case.

To stop this from happening, in Safari, go Preferences > General and uncheck Open safe files after downloading.

Alternatively, use a different browser like Chrome or Firefox.

Thank you - in my case it was my unarchiver program, automatically opening sub-archives so I never saw the tgz file. Got it working now - fantastic addition. Thank you so much!

You're welcome. Glad you got it sorted.
