SO: Archcraft
WM: i3wm
Error Message: mv: cannot move './zoom.desktop' to '/usr/local/share/applications/zoom-AM.desktop': No such file or directory
Cause: No such folder '../share/appllications' in /usr/local'
Suggestion: Create a folder in ~/.local/share/applications/ and move the file
Workaround to show the program in the menu (rofi): I manually copied the file /opt/zoom/zoom.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications

Hi, is your version of AM updated?

Try am -s or am -u, and then install the app again.

I've solved this issue three days ago 425730c

The issue is because a mistake. In version 7 I accidentaly removed the following command from the module "install.am"

$SUDOCOMMAND mkdir -p /usr/local/share/applications

it is needed to create the directory /usr/local/share/applications.
