I have come across this interesting system settings module on Pling store. Is there a way to install it from within system settings like we can a theme, icons, widgets etc.? Or is it necessary to configure the package manager as suggested on the site?

I have downloaded the tar.gz file hoping for a direct way to install it.

The website says you install it like any other package on your distro. Ofcourse that will only work if it's packaged for your distribution. KCM modules in general are system packages, so not something you can install on a user-basis, like themes and widgets.

## Easiest way to install and receive update is to use my Personal Package Archive as follows:

### To install from command line

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bstrong-f/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fisysmgr or fsmgr

### To install from Synaptic Package Manager

First add the repository:

Go to System Settings, Driver Manager.
Open the "Other Software tap", click Add.
Enter "deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/bstrong-f/daily/ubuntu noble main"
For later releases change "noble" to the appreciate release name.

Close Software Sources.

Open Synaptic Package Manager.

Enter "fsmgr" in search bar. (you may need to click Reload on main Synaptic dialog.)
Right Click "fsmgr" in list.
Click Mark for: Installation.
Click Apply.

### Suggested additional packages.

To search for samba/cifs shares you will need to have cifs-utils installed.
To search for NFS shares you will need to have nfs-common installed.
To search for network shares you will also need to have avahi-utils installed.
