Hi, I’m trying to install Zrythm on Fedora 41. The terminal shows this output, but then a window appears saying the installation was successful. However, Zrythm doesn’t launch.

```auto
alekseik@fedora:~/Downloads/zrythm-trial-1.0.0-installer$ ./install.sh 
[sudo] password for alekseik:

Those are normal (but probably not good to show in the output), as long as the operation succeeds the install is successful. How are you attempting to run Zrythm?

Zrythm appeared in the list of applications, and I tried opening it by simply clicking on the icon. I also attempted to navigate to the directory and open it using ./zrythm. I don’t remember the exact terminal output since I’m writing from memory, but it mentioned something about missing files. I’ll share the terminal output here a bit later.

You should use `./zrythm_launch` not `./zrythm`.

This should work, but if it doesn’t please try `./zrythm_launch` to see what the problem is.

I used `./zrythm_launch`.  
Now I see the following output in the terminal:

```bash
alekseik@fedora:/opt/zrythm-trial-1.0.0/bin$ ./zrythm_launch
dirname: missing operand
Use the command `dirname --help` for more information.
