Add install instructions

[kjarnet]

Please add some install instructions (including any dependencies) as this is not intuitively clear and the normal way of installing plasmoids only gives a very general and non-informative error-message.

This seems as a great and useful app and I'd love to try it but I'm not able to install it (kubuntu 13.04). (I'm aware of the page on kde-apps, but I can't find any useful information on installing it there either.)

For kubuntu you need to install the dependency:

sudo apt-get install libdeclarative-multimedia

I'll try to add this install file in the next version. Hopefully in plasma 2 this will not be required anymore, because QML2 already have this module by default.

Thanks - that did the trick :) Just adding this to a readme file would be a great start. Or you could, of course, use github's wiki-feature or github pages to give install instructions. In any case, it doesn't need to be very elaborate or fancy - any instructions are better than no instructions ;)

E.g. something like:

Dependencies
--------------------
**Kubuntu 13.04**
- libdeclarative-multimedia

Installation
---------------
1. Download plasmoid-file from http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=152459
2. Install with plasmapkg -i tomatoid.plasmoid

Hi, all

This command line: plasmapkg -i tomatoid.plasmoid
=>
contents # plasmapkg -i tomatoid.plasmoid
plasmapkg(9775)/libplasma Plasma::Package::installPackage: No such file: "/home/cote/Téléchargements/Tomatoid-master/contents/tomatoid.plasmoid"
L'installation de /home/cote/Téléchargements/Tomatoid-master/contents/tomatoid.plasmoid a échoué.

Can you help me ?

PS:

1. Note I succeed with dependency's installation...
2. contents # locate tomatoid.plasmoid => nothing...

Hi Lionel

Right click panel > Panel Options > Add Widgets > Get New Widgets > Download New Plasma Widgets > search for Tomatoid > click install

if you want to use the command line, execute these two commands:

wget http://kde-apps.org/CONTENT/content-files/152459-tomatoid.plasmoid
plasmapkg -i 152459-tomatoid.plasmoid

This should install the plasmoid. The command is not working probably because the file is not in the path you are in.
