The script is the likely the same as for installing the Firefox ESR version on a Debian-based System.
1. Download the Linux tarball:
http://www.basilisk-browser.org/download.shtml
2. Create a new textfile with the extension .sh (or no extension) with this content:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
sudo tar -xvf basilisk.tar.bz2 -C /opt
sudo ln -s /opt/basilisk/basilisk /usr/bin/basilisk
sudo ln -s /opt/basilisk/browser/chrome/icons/default/default16.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/basilisk.png
sudo ln -s /opt/basilisk/browser/chrome/icons/default/default32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/basilisk.png
sudo ln -s /opt/basilisk/browser/chrome/icons/default/default48.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/basilisk.png
sudo ln -s /opt/basilisk/browser/icons/mozicon128.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/basilisk.png
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/basilisk 100
Code: Select all
basilisk.tar.bz2
4. Start the terminal and enter
Code: Select all
sh basilisk.sh
After that the installation started.
5. Create a new link / desktop file to the basilisk web browser:
Open an text editor and enter the following lines:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Basilisk Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer

StartupNotify=true
Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;
[Desktop Action NewWindow]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=basilisk -new-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=basilisk -private-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
Copy the file as sudo in the folder
Code: Select all
sudo cp YourBasiliskDesktopFile /usr/share/applications
I will add an update script later in this topic.
