Dear all,
I am happy to share the small shell script I built for myself to install and update slicer (either stable or nightly) : slicer-update
It is a simple command line tool that downloads the binary archive, checksums it (somehow the md5 on nightly never matches…) and installs it in the specified directory. If installed system-wide, it will also chmod the extension directory so that users can install extensions and create a desktop file.
Both stable and nightly can co-exist and will both get a separate desktop file.
For now, only Linux is tested, the MacOS implementation is incomplete.
