<p>No, the "install script" doesn't touch anything in your $HOME directory.</p>
<p>The reason is probably because you ran Geany as root.<br>
Just don't do it.</p>
<p>To solve your problem: <code>chown -R nbeerli:nbeerli ~/.config/geany</code>.</p>
<p>No idea why the installation won't work with the Ubuntu Software Center. We cannot provide support for distribution specifc problems. This is unrelated to Geany.</p>
