install Eldy on linux
three steps:
1) install JAVA JRE 6
if Debian/Ubuntu, or other Debian derivated distro:
- install java6 jre ( ” apt-get install sun-java6-jre ” )
(careful: java is nonfree, you might need to change your source.list to look for nonfree)
are you sure you have java?
to test:
# java -v
and see if you get java version or error.
2) install ELDY downloading tar gz (my personal suggestion)
get latest eldy from http://download.eldy.com
# cd /usr/local
# tar xzvfp eldy*.tgz
2bis) install ELDY as Debian package: (might not be the lates)
- add deb.vegans.it to your source list editing “/etc/apt/sources.list” and adding at the bottom: the following line:
deb http://deb.vegans.it binary/
# apt-get update
# apt-get install eldy
3) Launch Eldy and enjoy
- enjoy eldy running:
” java -jar /usr/local/eldy/eldy.jar”
of course if you called directory in a different way, or placed into other , go where eldy.jar is and launch:
# java -jar eldy.jar
