Icon pack Surfn-Numix-Polo installation.

Is there a way to install the icon pack Surfn-Numix-Polo found in ArcoLinux (former ArchMerge)?

I use Bunsenlabs at work via Anydesk (winows 7 or 8 ) because Openbox allows me to use two screens without the  demands openSUSE KDE had.

This might make some of you cringe (since the icon pack I mentioned is shipped on Arcolinux Xfce and Bunsenlabs runs on Openbox), but I thought I'd ask anyway.

In case this is in any way possible,

*is there a command on the terminal?
*should I use the file found in https://github.com/erikdubois/Surfn ?

Re: Icon pack Surfn-Numix-Polo installation.

Yes:

sudo apt install git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons
mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/erikdubois/Surfn && cd Surfn
for i in Surfn*; do cp -r $i ~/.local/share/icons/$i; done

^ That downloads the icons and copies them to ~/.local/share/icons

Alternatively, add `sudo` before the `cp` command and change the destination to /usr/share/icons to make the icons available for all users.

EDIT: be *very* careful what you type if you add `sudo` though, double and triple check before pressing return.

Re: Icon pack Surfn-Numix-Polo installation.

Thank you so much Head_on_a_Stick!

Where should I go to learn things like this? I am guessing two mandatory destinations are GitHub (where I barely understand what people do) and OpenStack (where I got yelled at and downvoted after asking an apparently dumb question).

Can you recommend me a site or programming language?

You don't need to learn that method at all, you could have achieved the same end result by downloading the tarball from the github page (with your browser) then unpacking it and copying the files inside to ~/.local/share/icons with the graphical file manager.

I just find the command line easier than messing around with a mouse, that's all.

If you also prefer the command line then start with

man intro

And go from there.
