rofimoji: rofimoji not executable by default
From sources
Download the src directory. In the picker subdirectory, execute python setup.py install --user. This also installs the python dependencies xdg and configargparse.
This doesn’t seem to be accurate anymore. One have to execute the script in src, not in picker.
It then got installed under:
~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/
So far so good, but I also had to manually make the rofimoji.py script executable afterwards, because the installer didn’t.
Furthermore I had to manually add an alias to my zsh-config to reach it for execution.
I have the feeling this isn’t the intended way to go at all but more some lucky hackyish solution.
Expected behaviour:
- To not have to do all the manual steps described above.
- To open rofimoji via shortcut or directly from rofi rather than starting it from terminal.
Maybe someone can help me out here.🙏😀 I’m on Fedora and i3wm and installed it from source.

I pushed something to
masterthat could fix the installation. Could you please test it? Thank you 🙂First, thanks for the report and sorry for all the effort you had to invest.
I hope to find some time soon to fix the setup. But as you may have noticed, I’m quite new to Python packaging, so if you have any ideas, please share!
