Installing Beersmith3 on Fedora 31 linux

### Installing Beersmith3 on Fedora 31 Linux

## After updating to fc31 (from fc27 which ran Beersmith2) below are the steps used to install Beersmith3. After installation beersmith3 appears completely functional. All of my recipes and inventory converted intact.

## install deps
[jim@widget ~]$ sudo dnf install webextension-gsconnect gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect compat-wxGTK3-gtk2-media wxGTK3-webview

[jim@widget ~]$ firefox http://beersmith.com/download-beersmith
## right-click on BeerSmith 3 for Ubuntu 18.04 and Copy Link Location
[jim@widget ~]$ sudo su -

[root@widget ~]# mkdir /tmp/beersmith-3 ; cd /tmp/beersmith-3

[root@widget beersmith-3]# wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/beersmith-3/BeerSmith-3.0.9_amd64.deb

## confirm archive is intact
[root@widget beersmith-3]# ar -t BeerSmith-3.0.9_amd64.deb
debian-binary
control.tar.xz
data.tar.xz
0

[root@widget beersmith-3]# ar -xv BeerSmith-3.0.9_amd64.deb
x - debian-binary
x - control.tar.xz
x - data.tar.xz

[root@widget beersmith-3]# tar xvf data.tar.xz ?directory=/
[root@widget beersmith-3]# exit

## Check for missing libraries - all OK
[jim@widget ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/beersmith3 | grep 'not found'

[jim@widget ~]$ beersmith3         # beersmith licensing fails to work

## Good to go. Great job Brad!

Howd Jem,

Thanks for your help though I get a bit stuck at the line below...

[root@widget beersmith-3]# tar xvf data.tar.xz ?directory=/

When running the above line I get this output...

[root@localhost beersmith-3]# tar xvf data.tar.xz ?directory=/
tar: ?directory=: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors


So I thought that "?directory=/" was a placeholder so I popped /tmp/beersmith-3 as the directory with the same output...

tar: /tmp/beersmith-3: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I haven't purchased a license yet as I'd like to get it working (at least in demo mode) before I commit. Once I can get it working in Fedora I will become a happy, working, paid user!

Change  tar xvf data.tar.xz ?directory=/
to
tar xvf data.tar.xz --directory=/


** I installed on Fedora 32 in a virtual box.

Also, also, I ran before starting (timing shouldn't matter)
dnf clean all
dnf update
rebooted
