During the installation routine I got the two Error messages below.
I am by far no expert and I don't know if these folders should normally exist and are only missing in my installation.

Error: Installation directory not found (/usr/local/share/applications)

Error: Installation directory not found (/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps)

I have manually created the two folders and it works like a charm!
If you need further information, let me know.
Keep up the good work!

I had the same issue. I'm gonna try to submit a patch to prompt the user if the script should create the folders (if missing), or abort the installation.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps should solve it

Well I know, I created both directories manually too, but I thought it should be tested at least in the installation script if these folders exist and if not, the user should be asked, if he would like to create them to continue with installation
