Provide a installation instruction about gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect

[andyholmes]

The contents should be extracted to ~/[email protected]/ unfortunately Github doesn't allow uploading files with the @ symbol in them. The easiest way used be to install the ZIP with Gnome Tweaks, but apparently they've removed that option now. I guess that was too advanced for an advanced options application :/

I'll add some instructions to the Install page.

I successfully installed GSConnect (I had no prior version installed). I had to use the unzip line without the o flag however (only the d flag), if I didn't it gave the following error:

octavian@octavian-pc:~/Downloads$ unzip gsconnect.andyholmes.github.io.zip -do ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
Archive:  gsconnect.andyholmes.github.io.zip
caution: filename not matched:  /home/octavian/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

If my description above was not understandable. This line worked:

unzip gsconnect.andyholmes.github.io.zip -d ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

Ah, unzip is weird and doesn't seem to allow just regular create and overwrite if it exists behaviour. I'll update it so it just prompts the user. Thanks for pointing that out.

The problem, I think, is the position of the flags. -d takes an argument, so you can't combine it with the -o flag; -do is literally telling it to extract the zip into a directory named o. This:

unzip -o gsconnect.andyholmes.github.io.zip -d ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

will work fine, and will force the overwrites.

@ferdnyc Ah cool, I've updated the Wiki, thanks.
