How to install StackApplet on Fedora 16?

Question

Is possible to install the StackApplet on my Fedora 16 (under KDE) ?

Its stackapps.com site has an .rpm package for RedHat-based distributions, like Fedora. Have you tried this?

You can download the RPM here.

I successfully installed the noarch RPM on my FC16 KDE environment.

sudo yum localinstall /path/to/stackapplet-1.5-2.noarch.rpm

or

sudo rpm -Uvh "https://launchpad.net/stackapplet/1.5/1.5/+download/stackapplet-1.5-2.noarch.rpm"

The applet shows up in the system widget on my panel.

	Emmm, with the last command, how can I install my stackapplet? Is it only to download? – Brallan Aguilar Apr 27 '12 at 18:58
	The `rpm` command will download and install. You need to run with `sudo` or as root. I've added quotes around the URL. My fault. The `yum` command assumes you have already downloaded the RPM. – uther Apr 27 '12 at 18:59
	Thank you! On other hand, if the applet was updated, I can only update my own applet or I must download again? – Brallan Aguilar Apr 27 '12 at 19:08
	You can run the command `rpm -Uvh "http://launchpad.net/stackapplet/some-new-version.rpm"` and it will upgrade your currently installed RPM. – uther Apr 27 '12 at 19:11
	And for example, exist a form to add to my Fedora repositories for only when I execute yum update, obtain the newest version? – Brallan Aguilar Apr 27 '12 at 19:14
