| == How to install MIRC-Zn on Ubuntu Linux ==
| |
| * Download the script
| |
| wget http://timphillips.net/mirc/install-MIRC-Zn
| |
| * Make it executable
| |
| chmod 777 ./install-MIRC-Zn
| |
| * Run the script
| |
| ./install-MIRC-Zn
| |
| * Point your browser to the machine you just installed it on and MIRC should be up and running.
| |
| * This script will also upgrade a previous "Tim Phillips" installation of MIRC-Zn so it can be used again when the RSNA code is updated.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==What the script does (feel free to look at it before you run it)==
| |
|
| |
| * Checks you're running it as root or using sudo.
| |
| * Stops the MIRC-Zn service if its running.
| |
| * Checks which chipset you're running.
| |
| * Enables the ubuntu partner repo (to get Oracle Java).
| |
| * Answers the Java installation questions in advance.
| |
| * Installs SunJava and a few other necessary applications.
| |
| * Downloads the appropriate JAI ImageIO files installs JAI ImageIO.
| |
| * Downloads the latest version of MIRC-Zn.
| |
| * Writes an upstart script (so that CTP/MIRC will be run as a service automatically).
| |
| * Installs RSNA MIRC.
| |
|
| |
| ==Choosing between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server for a MIRC install==
| |
|
| |
| * Ubuntu Desktop
| |
| ** Easier (very easy) if you're new to Linux.
| |
| ** May be very slightly slower but on modern hardware you are unlikely to notice the difference.
| |
| * Ubuntu Server
| |
| ** Makes more sense - MIRC is a web service after all.
| |
| ** Will be leaner and faster.
| |
| ** Can run on a headless server or virtual machine.
| |
| ** [http://turnkeylinux.org TurnkeyLinux] is a very good Ubuntu install for this purpose.
