    = Setting up Bibisco on Ubuntu 19.04

    (tested on PopOS 19.04)

    . Download linux archive https://gumroad.com/l/XHXnC/freebird?wanted=true[from Bibisco].

    . Move files to better path.
    +
    sudo mv ~/Downloads/bibisco-blah-blah/ ~/opt/bibisco

    . Install 2 dependencies.
    +
    sudo apt install libgconf-2-4 libgtk2.0-0

    . Test launching bibisco.
    +
    cd /opt/bibisco
    ./bibisco

    This should open the Bibisco app window.

    == BONUS: Create an application launcher shortcut

    . Download the attached file `bibisco-logo.png`.

    . Install Alacarte (a GNOME app manager).
    +
    sudo apt install alacarte

    . Launch alacarte.
    .. It may show up as "Main Menu" in GNOME launcher but can be searched with `alacarte`.
    .. Alternatively, restart your shell profile/sessiion and execute `alacarte` on the command line.

    . Add a *New Item* inside *Office* or another folder.

    . Name your new item *Bibisco*.

    . Enter `/opt/bibisco/bibisco` for *command*.

    . Hit *OK* and check your application menu for an icon.
