Installing from Git Clone problem

[86andyd]

I ran into a problem installing from Git clone using the instructions on the install page here. I would like to use this install method so I can stay updated with a few simple commands in the future. I'm running POPos 22.04.

What should I do?

I'll post my results below, and Thank You!

Ok, maybe I spoke too soon lol.

I ran the following and ClamUI did start and open up the GUI. However, I do not have a desktop icon in my launcher for some reason, and wehn I run "clamui" after closing the GUI, it does not open again.

git clone https://github.com/linx-systems/clamui.git
cd clamui
./scripts/local-run.sh
fatal: destination path 'clamui' already exists and is not an empty directory.
