You can download idock from here or use the following command. At first, change to a directory where you want to download the software. We are going to download it in the ‘Downloads‘ directory.

$ cd Downloads/

$ wget https://github.com/HongjianLi/idock/archive/refs/tags/v2.2.3.tar.gz

Installing idock

Extract the downloaded software.

$ tar xvzf v2.2.3.tar.gz

A new directory is created namely, idock-2.2.3. Inside this directory, you will find a bin directory, and then inside it, there will be a Linux directory. Move inside the Linux directory.

$ cd idock-2.2.3/bin/Linux/

There you will find a binary file of idock. Now copy this binary to /usr/bin/ directory so that you can use it from anywhere.

$ sudo cp idock /usr/bin/

It is successfully installed on your system, whenever you want to use idock just type $ idock along with the other arguments.
