content: Not sure what linux distro you are running, I am using mint so the package manager I am using is apt, so it will change accordingly... cd  sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install libttspico0 libttspico-utils libttspico-dev sudo apt-get install git-all git clone https://github.com/lusum/gSpeech.git  Adding gSpeech to your Main Menu. You have two options you can add it to the ~/.local/share/applications/ directory so that it is just added for the current user or if you would like it to be added for all users you can add it to /usr/share/applications/ , I will use adding it for all users as the example.  cd /usr/share/applications touch gSpeech.desktop vim gSpeech.desktop  Add the following lines to the file, note you will need to change USER to your username. To edit (interactive mode) within vim press "i"  [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=/home/USER/gSpeech/gSpeech.sh Name=gSpeech Icon=/home/USER/gSpeech/icons/gSpeech.svg GenericName=TTS Categories=AudioVideo;  to save press ESC to leave interactive mode and enter ":x" That is it, it will now show up in your audio video section of your main menu. Also, since it resides in the notification area and it nice to have there, so I also added it to the startup applications list. Let me know if you have any questions.
