+# Steps:
+#   1. Create the applications folder if it doesn't exist:
+#           mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
+#   2. Copy this file:
+#           cp org.servo.Servo.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
+#   3. Edit the copied file and replace the two SERVO_SRC_PATH occurrences
+#      with the path to the Servo sources.
+#   4. Create the icons folder if it doesn't exist:
+#          mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
+#   5. Create a link for the icon:
+#          ln -s servo.svg ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/servo.svg
