Installing on your current computer

To install your application onto your current computer and make it available system-wide, you could simply execute the following:

$ fyne install -icon myapp.png

The icon file is the minimum required metadata for installing an app to the desktop.

Once the application is installed, you will see it in your computer's program list with appropriate icons showing.
