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
