Installing iDMC on Ubuntu LinuxInstall JavaRecent versions of Ubuntu (>=8.04) comes with Java pre-installed. Unfortunately, the version provided by default doesn't work well with iDMC. To install a proper version, at the terminal (menu applications->utilities->terminal) type: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre and follow any eventual indication. Now, you need to tell ubuntu that we want to use this new version of Java as the default one. At the prompt, type: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk Now, if you type java -version you should have something like: java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode, sharing) Install iDMCDownload a recent version of the iDMC .jar file in any and place it, say, in your home folder. Then, at the terminal, start the installation process by: java -jar iDmc-2.x.xx-install.jar Run iDMCOnce installation is completed, you can start iDMC from the terminal by going into the destination install folder (default is: ${HOME}/iDMC) and typing: java -jar iDmc-2.x.xx.jar Recent enough versions of iDMC should also put a shortcut to iDMC in your Applications menu.
