			A couple of points to note re the install.sh script
⚫	~~Note that the install.sh script~~ appears to have been written for KDE4 and does not put files in the correct location for KFrameworks5. see http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/build-linux-productivity-machine-kde-service-menus/. All that is required is to copy files to correct locations:
			*the tarball must be unpacked in a path to which users have '''write''' permission
			**nevertheless, the script must be run as root

			Only a few modules have a *.conf file, that also references /usr/share/kde4
			* change these references to /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/pdfForts
