Ardis Builder ? Arch Linux

[iJunkie22]

What exactly do you mean? Ardis Builder is a python package, so just cd into the containing directory, then just run
python ./setup.py install (maybe as root if needed)
Once installed, just run this from wherever:
python -m ardisBuilder

If this works for you, let me know here so I can close the issue. If another issue occurs, open another issue ticket and I'm sure I'll be able to either explain the task or, if it is a bug, release a patch. My python experience is more than 4x the experience I had when I wrote ArdisBuilder, so I'm sure I'll have an answer! :)

Thanks for your time,

This is what i did before after what Ivan told me to do: "And if you wish to use ArdisBuilder to customize your icon pack, extract the content of 'ArdisBuilder.tar.gz' somewhere on your system, and run the script inside Ardis-Builder folder called 'make_loader.sh' if you wish to have launcher in your menu. That's it, open Ardis Builder and customize your icon pack, and then go and apply the icon theme using your desktop tool for applying icon themes."

That was the reason i made an issue here. The way above was not working for me.

After doing what you mention, i put Ardis Builder in /usr/share/icons, i did the steps with sudo.
I get this error after that:
Traceback (most recent call last):

First things first: ArdisBuilder is written for python 2, and has not been ported to Python 3.x. I have chosen to not take on porting, since 2 is still the most widely used, and the default on most linux distros when ArdisBuilder was written. Try running it with an interpreter that is within 2.7-2.9.

To find which interpreters you have,
run

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | sort -u | while read line; do (echo $line/pytho*) | tr ' ' '\n'; done | grep -v -E "(-config|\*|pythonw)" | while read pline; do echo "$pline"; ($pline --version); echo "======";done

alright, given those choices, I recommend you run it like this:

python2 ./setup.py install

python2 -m ardisBuilder

Thanks, that did it. I can use the Ardis Builder now. I have installed Ardis Builder in /usr/share/icons
So it is installed with root. I don't see in my menu from Gnome the Ardis Builder. Is that because i have to installed it in home?

Well, this all depends where your system keeps its launchers, but kind of. .desktop files really require an absolute path, so supplying one with something meant to be portable didn't really make sense. However, running the supplied make_loader.sh script should make a .desktop file in a location that GNOME will look for it at. By the way, you say you are running Arch, right? Which release (I know Arch uses rolling releases so just a date or anything you can supply me with so I can specify what's supported here -> #2
