Yad 12.0 Standalone Compiled on x86_64 Debian 10 Computer

 

Caution:  Never use "sudo -s" or execute any terminal command, especially as root  "#", unless you are absolutely sure what it is you are doing.

The below linked file was compiled on a Debian 10 (Buster) x86 64 bit system.  

Compiled yad version = 12.0 / +  --enable-html option. Once downloaded see instructions below.

 

Yad Sandalone  |  ./configure --enable-html  = Click Here - File Download

 

How to use install these files:

1. Download the file you want (File is downloaded as a binary so if you get error, accept file download).

2. Rename file to just;  yad

3. Open termainl and run following commands:

-> sudo apt-get install yad 

<installing yad from repository has a benefit. We Overwrite yad repo at /usr/bin/yad with 12.0 verison and NEVER remove yad with pacakage manager>

<after yad has been installed from repository it will be only version 0.40+... We will make it version 12.0>

-> cd /to-pat-conatinging-the-downloaded-yad-file

-> sudo cp ./yad /usr//bin/yad

-> sudo a+x /usr/bin/yad

--> sudo cp ./yad /usr/local/bin/yad

-> sudo a+x /usr/local/bin/yad

ALL DONE !

Now Test both yad installs:

/usr/bin/yad --about

/usr/local/bin/yad --about

THEY BOTH SHOULD BE yad Version 12.-0
