 4There are many different Linux distributions and some handle font management
 5differently. These instructions are for the most common Linux distributions:
 6
 71. Create a folder called ".fonts" in your home directory.
 8   Example: mkdir -p ~/.fonts
 9
102. Copy the otf files in the "Inter Desktop" folder into your .fonts directory
11   Example: cp "Inter Desktop"/*.otf ~/.fonts/
12
13You may have to restart apps and/or your window server session.

15Again, these instructions are for the most common Linux distributuons like
16Ubuntu and might not apply to you. Refer to the documentation for your
17distribution for more details on how to manage fonts in your OS.

20Q&A
21
22Q: I installed the fonts but they don't show up
23A: Try rebuilding the font database:
24   sudo fc-cache -f -v
25   Then restart your program(s).
26
27Q: Is there a way to tell if Inter was actually installed?
28A: Try running: fc-list | grep "Inter"
29
30Q: ~/.fonts is an old thing. The new thing is ~/.local/share/fonts
31A: Yes, that is true for recent distributions. These distros usually support
32   ~/.fonts as well making these instructions work for everyone. Yay.
