Missing Stacer 1.1.0 installation
by TJCS15749 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Q4N0)
Hi I'm a total Linux newbie and appear to have failed already. I'm running Linux Mint 19.2 on VirtualBox 6.0 on a MacBook Pro.
I wanted to have an equivalent to CleanMyMac on the Linux platform and it seemed that the Stacer appliction fitted the bill.
I downloaded and installed according to the instructions set out in the itsmarttricks.com page (link: https://www.itsmarttricks.com/how-to...-ubuntu-19-04/).
It worked, and Stacer opened when I typed in the final command which was simply 'stacer'.
I then closed the application and shut the virtual machine down.
When I started up again there was no sign of Stacer anywhere. No icon in the menu, and searches revealed nothing.
I did discover that Stacer was installed by going to Menu/Administation/Synaptic Package Manager and tracking down to find a package named 'stacer 1.1.0-1bionic'.
Needless to say I couldn't open the application from this place in the system, and since I had no other means of accessing it, I marked the package for Complete Removal and clicked Apply.
I assume this has worked.
I've not fallen in love with Linux yet. Perhaps there's a SIMPLE explanation for installing applications in Linux and getting them to function...can anyone help.
Thanks
