Installing Executable Launchers

The Install Flix Launchers plug-in allows you to quickly install Flix launchers on your local machine.

When using the Install Flix Launchers plug-in, Flix backs up your Flix and Flix_Next files and replaces them with alternate executable files.
It also creates a Flix.yml and a Flix_Next.yml files that need to stay with the Flix executable files or else Flix fails to launch.
Both Flix and Flix_next files are copied to your local space:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Flix

• OS X: /Applications/Flix

• Linux: /opt/Flix

The Flix_Variables.yml file is copied as a .yml file to the following location: flixApp/apps/[OS]/.
The builds also are upgraded to use .txt files instead of symlinks.

Once you've installed the Flix launchers, you have access to the Flix Options context menu. This menu contains the following options:

Control	Action
New Flix Tab	Opens Flix in a new tab.
New Editorial Tab	Opens Flix Editorial UI in a new tab.
Status	Opens the Status page to find out which services are running and which services might be down.
Quit	Shuts down the Flix service.
