Copy it to a new directory, untar it, and run your new browser: mkdir ~/git/palemoon/Ĭp ~/git/palemoon-source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/palemoon-29.4.6.linux-x86_. Now we will have a new tarball at ~/git/palemoon-source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/palemoon-29.4.6.linux-x86_. At this point we can take it for a test run:ĩ.

Inside the geany text editor, change the first line of mach from We need to fix the “mach” shell script to run with bash instead of “sh” on antix: cd ~/git/palemoon-source/ Download the Pale Moon source tarball to an appropriate location and untar it (I’m using the 29.4.6 tarball here – you should grab the most recent one from ): mkdir ~/git/ĥ. I upgraded the kernel version to the 5.10 LTS from the antiX package installer – I’m not certain this was necessary, but seemed to work well.Ĥ.

However, I have built it, and while I’ve got it all fresh in my mind I’m going to write down the steps here for my own future reference if nothing else.
