Can I download and install Cinnamon's panel applet in terminal

Post by akerka »

Is there some terminal's command allows to install an cinnamon applet?
I want to set up fresh installed system by bash script.
But I still need to make some clicks to set up taskbar.

You can do. The basic method is:
1) Use wget to download the applet to your applets folder.
2) Use dconf to add the applets to the 'enabled-applets' setting.

Code: Select all

#install favourite applets =================================================================================================================
cd ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/
wget https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/files/applets/placesCenter@scollins.zip && unzip placesCenter@scollins.zip

#Enabled applets
dconf write /org/cinnamon/enabled-applets "['panel1:left:0:menu@cinnamon.org:1', 'panel1:left:1:panel-launchers@cinnamon.org:3', 'panel1:left:3:window-list@cinnamon.org:53', 'panel1:center:0:panel-launchers@cinnamon.org:54', 'panel1:right:0:placesCenter@scollins:26', 'panel1:right:1:workspace-switcher@cinnamon.org:51', 'panel1:right:2:spacer@cinnamon.org:49', 'panel1:right:3:notifications@cinnamon.org:6', 'panel1:right:4:sound@cinnamon.org:13', 'panel1:right:5:network@cinnamon.org:9', 'panel1:right:6:inhibit@cinnamon.org:24', 'panel1:right:7:power@cinnamon.org:11', 'panel1:right:8:systray@cinnamon.org:23', 'panel1:right:9:calendar@cinnamon.org:12', 'panel1:right:10:turn-off-monitor@zablotski:15']"
The easiest way to figure out the dconf parameters is to install your required applets in the usual way, the use dconf to list the enabled-applets key value.
