• Link the directory client/src to /usr/local/share/libki

  sudo ln -s LIBKI-ROOT/client/src/ /usr/local/share/libkiclient

• Make the dir readable and executable.

  sudo chmod -R 755 LIBKI-ROOT/client/src

  Don't forget to make sure it's readable and executable by everyone.

• In the Libki-enabled account, launch the script libkiclient on login.
  • In the locked down account's home directory, create the directory .config/autostart if it does not already exist.
  • In this directory, create the file libki.desktop with the following contents:

• Each desktop environment has to be locked down for public use in its own way.
