Sorry in advance, new linux user trying to install OneSwarm here... the old insall forum thread talks about installing OneSwarm on Linux version 8... it doesn't work here. I assume because those instructions are two years old?
How do I install the latest version on my Linux machine?
Thanks!
Download the appropriate version here:
http://www.oneswarm.org/download.html
unzip/untar, then run the OneSwarm executable. Are you experiencing any problems?
I've downloaded OneSwarm_linux_x86.tar.gz but there doesn't seem to be an executable file. I've opened the folder with Archive Manager and that extracts it, but there doesn't seem to be anything to run. Am I missing something?
Yes, the OneSwarm file inside starts the program. (It should be executable, unless your extractor strips permissions.) It's just a shell script, so either way you should be able to run it with:
bash OneSwarm
from the extracted directory.
Yup, that seems to work just fine. Thanks for teaching me something new!
My OneS does not know what browser or file manager to use. How do I set those preferences with out any OneS UI? I have the OneS status icon in the system tray and I can use OneS just fine but I have no Interface to know what it is doing beyond the system tray icon. Or to make any changes for that matter. I am on a Unity Linux desktop on which I use a blended Openbox/ KDE interface. My file manager is Dolphin and my web browser is Firefox. These were not system defaults upon OS install.
My hardware is a 586 2.8gig Pentium
2 gig RAM
integrated Intel graphics.
Any help would be great.
