Installing alacritty

Hello! to install alacritty on linux these commands need to be executed to create the desktop entry: 
sudo cp target/release/alacritty /usr/local/bin # or anywhere else in $PATH
sudo cp extra/logo/alacritty-term.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/Alacritty.svg
sudo desktop-file-install extra/linux/Alacritty.desktop
sudo update-desktop-database
sudo cp target/release/alacritty /usr/local/bin # or anywhere else in $PATH
sudo cp extra/logo/alacritty-term.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/Alacritty.svg
sudo desktop-file-install extra/linux/Alacritty.desktop
sudo update-desktop-database
The commands fail in both a container and the normal system

does anyone know if theres a way to install it? Installing it requires copying over an svg to /usr/share/pixmaps/ and i dont know of any way of doing that it would be really helpful if there was a command to temporarily bypass the read only file system like vanilla os's sudo abroot exec COMMAND so you can set everthing up and then just leave it alone

Just use the terminal that came with your DE stop being picky sudo system install alacritty For a desktop entry, right click the menu entry and choose add to desktop if you’re on KDE
