README for clamtk-kde

Note: This program is no longer maintained. https://github.com/dave-theunsub/clamtk/issues/163

This README was last updated 20240330.

clamtk-kde adds a context menu item to allow for the ability to right-click on a file or folder from within the Konqueror or Dolphin browsers to easily scan the selected item for threats.

All this plugin does is copy a desktop file to a directory. This makes it easy to scan a file or folder, without opening the virus scanner first and navigating to the file or folder of interest.

Installation

First, download clamtk-kde from its Github or Gitlab home. RPM-based systems like Fedora, RedHat, CentOS, Alma, or Rocky (and others) will use an RPM (.rpm). DEB-based systems like Debian or Ubuntu will use a DEB (.deb).

Option A: Double-click to install

This is the easiest and recommended way. Installing this way allows the system package manager to take care of installation details.

Option B: Commandline install from downloaded package

On Ubuntu systems

sudo dpkg -i clamtk-kde_0.21-1_all.deb

On CentOS systems

yum install clamtk-kde-0.21-1.el9.noarch.rpm

or

dnf install clamtk-kde-0.21-1.el9.noarch.rpm

On Fedora systems

dnf install clamtk-kde-0.21-1.fc39.noarch.rpm

Option C: Manual installation

To manually install it:

Ensure ClamTk is installed. You will need to have root privileges for this step. Youwill need version 5.00 or newer, but you should use the 6.xx series by now.

  1. Download the .tar.xz file
  2. Extract the contents:
    tar xf clamtk-kde-0.21.tar.xz
  3. Change to the newly created directory:
    cd clamtk-kde-0.21
  4. Copy the clamtk-kde.desktop file to the services folder. For example:

For KDE 4:
cp clamtk-kde.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/
For KDE 5:
cp clamtk-kde.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/
