Installing Livecode on Linux

I had to set up an new Linux box this week and came accross that time when to Install Livecode, again. Since we been asked this question before. How to install Livecode on Linux? I figure why not do an quick 1 minute video screen how to. Hopefully someone finds this useful. If not , oh well.

Get & Set Linux Theme with Livecode.

With Linux there many different options for window themes, based upon what distro you or your users are running. But using Livecode this is easy info to get and can be used to alter the window theme layout like the following Picture below alters the toolbar and window menu in unity theme of an Livecode built app.

To query this data is simple for Livecode use the Environment Variable $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.

Use like such 

function getLixTheme

return $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

end getLixTheme

For the above if its unity I alter the window layout as show, else I alter nothing, and remove the unity toolbar and White in window menu.
