Workplace under Linux (Mandriva 2007)

[aselluza]

Hi, I'm new using Collanos Worklplace, in fact I couldn't use it yet. I tried the download, I chose my OS, Linux, and then I downloaded a shell script, Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh, but know I don't know what I must do with that. The only thing I get from it is to be open in Kwrite editor. Is any special way I should make it run? I also tried running it from a console as root, but it tells me "permission denied". I'd thank any kind of help.

Ok, I saw a post (sent in July 2006) about how to install it in Linux after I sent the previous post. I tried how you explained it, did this steps:

1. Make sure you are working as the user that will also work with Collanos – in this example called “user1”

2. Download Linux installation program “Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh” into the download directory of user1 – for example /home/user1/downloads

3. Open Console and in the download directory execute the command: chmod 775  Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh

4. Then in the same directory run the installation program: ./ Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh

But then the answer is: bash: ./: is a directory

I tried also: Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh

The answer: bash: Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh: command not found

So there I finished trying... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You need to run
"./Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_0.sh"
No space between ./ and the filename... okey??

I don't know about how to install collanos. But this is you need to run a shell file in linux.

Ok, finally I installed it. I installed Collanos 1.1 in Mandriva 2007.1 Spring. In fact, it was easy, I don't know why I was doing it wrong. I just opened a console, run $sh Workplace_linux_with_jre_1_1.sh and followed the installation process, but changing the path to my user's home. That's all!. Now I can open it from the folder it created in my home.
