Freenet 0.7

[Dromeno]

For a "privacy enhanced pup" I would love to have Freenet installed. I have managed to download the freenet offline java installer, url here:

http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alp ... ffline.jar

but now I have no idea how to install it. The .jar contains a bunch of direcotories and files but I can not find a install script. On which file do I need to click?

A pup or pet would be lovely! Anybody?

you will have to install java first. then see this (from http://freenetproject.org/download.html):

Linux and other Unix-like systems
You need to have a recent Java Runtime Environment (JRE). We have experienced best results with Sun's Java Runtime Environment which can be obtained via your package manager or from http://www.java.com/.
Java version 1.5 and later will work. However, be aware that there are applet security vulnerabilities in all versions prior to Java 1.5 update 4. Generally, we recommend using latest.

Open a terminal and type:

wget http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alp ... taller.jar
java -jar new_installer.jar

Thanks aragon,

This almost works... but now I get this message:

in console:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/local/Freenet/bin/install_updater.sh":java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

on screen:
"The installer isn\'t meant to be run as root"

do you know how I can solve that?

Change permissions for /usr/local/Freenet/bin/install_updater.sh to be executable and try again

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/local/Freenet/bin/install_updater.sh

And for root thing if it doesn't let you run the installer change to user spot

Code: Select all

su spot

then change to that directory where installer is and repeat the command you tried first
