Installing Turn Watcher on the GNU/Linux Operating System will depend on
your distribution. Please read the entry below corresponding to your version.
Debian-based Systems
(Ubuntu, Debian, Xandros, etc.)
For
Debian-based
systems, download the Debian package and then
follow the instructions below:
- Open a terminal or console session (this gives you a Linux shell
prompt: $)
- Use the cd command to go to the directory in which you downloaded Turn
Watcher.
Example:
$ cd ~/Desktop/Downloads
- Install the Turn Watcher package with the dpkg command:
$ sudo dpkg -i turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_i386.deb
- If you see any errors about dependencies, then you should run the
following command:
$ sudo apt-get install -f
- If you have Gnome or the KDE, Turn Watcher now appears in
your Games menu.
FedoraCore 5 or better
On a FedoraCore system follow the instructions below:
- If you are currently logged in as a user other than root,
log out;
- Log in as root;
- Download the Turn Watcher RPM package turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_amd64.deb
to your Desktop;
- Double click on the turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_amd64.deb file;
- When the Software Installer opens, click on Turn Watcher
and then click on Apply;
- If you are using the Gnome or KDE Desktop, Turn Watcher now
appears in your Games menu.
RPM-based Systems
(FedoraCore, RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, etc.)
For
RPM-based
systems, download the RPM/RedHat package turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_amd64.deb
and then follow the instructions below:
- Open a Terminal or Console session (this gives you a Linux shell
prompt: $)
- Use the cd command to go to the directory in which you downloaded Turn
Watcher.
Example:
$ cd ~/Desktop/Downloads
- Install the Turn Watcher package with the rpm command:
$ sudo rpm -i turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_amd64.deb
If the shell tells you that sudo does not exist or that you are
not a sudoer, then you need to use su instead.
$ su
Password:
# rpm -i turnwatcher_1.3-m2osw1_amd64.deb
You need to know the root password to get a root prompt (the '#' instead
of '$'.)
- If you see any errors about dependencies, then you will need to install
the missing packages first. Use
rpm -i <package-name>
to install them.
- Once you succeeded installing on your Gnome or KDE desktop,
Turn Watcher now appears in your Games menu.
Other Linux Distributions
For other GNU/Linux distributions, download the
tarball.
You get all the files in that one
tarball.
Follow the instructions below:
- Download the file in the directory where you want to install Turn Watcher.
We suggest that you name that directory TurnWatcher.
- Open a Unix shell (Terminal or Console)
- Use the cd command to go to the directory in which you downloaded Turn Watcher.
Example:
$ cd ~/TurnWatcher
- Extract the files:
$ tar -xzf turnwatcher-1.3-m2osw1.i386.rpm
- If your tar command doesn't understand the 'z' flag, use two commands
like this:
$ gunzip turnwatcher-1.3-m2osw1.i386.rpm
$ tar -xf turnwatcher-1.3-m2osw1.i386.rpm
- Change directories into the turnwatcher folder.
$ cd turnwatcher-1.3-m2osw1.i386.rpm
- Run the install script:
$ ./install.sh
- If the script can't figure out the pathname of your browser, it will ask
you for the full path of your current browser.
Example: /usr/bin/firefox
- Once finished, you can then run Turn Watcher!
$ ./turnwatcher
