How to install Nautilus scripts

Installing Nautilus scripts is a somewhat tedious process so it is best to install a script that will automatically install the scripts. However, we continue with the same problem, we have to install at least one script in that boring way.

Thus, to install a script we should do the following process:
  • copy the script into the home folder;
  • go to terminal and write:
cp [script's name] ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
  • and then write (please note that the script's name is attached to the slash "/"):
chmod u+x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/[script's name]

As I said earlier, it’s best for you to install a script that installs scripts, so here’s a hint:
  • Download this file;
  • Copy the file into the home folder;
  • Open the terminal application;
  • Write:
cp make-nautilus-script ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
  • and write:
chmod u+x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/make-nautilus-script


And that’s it, from now on when it’s necessary to install a script, just click on the right mouse button on the file you want to install and choose scripts->make-nautilus-script.


Note that I found the file on the site http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/, which has many other scripts.
