Intrepid Live CDs

Open a terminal on a (K)Ubuntu Live CD, copy and paste:

 sudo apt-get -y install subversion python-glade2 rpm && \
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/ && \
 cd client/trunk/ && sudo python install.py && \
 cd -

Done! Test it with:

 klik get xvier

Fedora 7, 8, 9, 10

 su  
 yum -y install subversion binutils  && \
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/  && \
 cd client/trunk/ && python install.py  && \
 exit

Done! Test it with:

 klik get pacman

openSUSE 11.1 Live CD

 su
 zypper modifyrepo --all
 zypper install subversion
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/
 cd client/trunk/
 python ./install.py
 exit

openSUSE 10.2 Live DVD

 su
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/
 cd client/trunk/
 python install --prefix /home/linux/
 exit

Done! Test it with:

 klik get xvier

Remarks: use the absolute path for the --prefix command (you are running this as root, remember?). This will install the klik runtime stuff into /home/linux/bin/ which is on the $PATH.

Mandriva 2008 HD and LiveCD

 su
 urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2008.0/i586/media/main/release
 urpmi fuse libfuse2 cdrkit-isotools subversion pygtk2.0-libglade
 svn checkout http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ klikclient-read-only
 cd klikclient-read-only/client/trunk
 python ./install.py
 mv /opt/klik/bin/fusioniso.dyn /opt/klik/bin/fusioniso
 ln -s /opt/klik/bin/fusioniso /usr/local/bin/
 echo "fuse" >> /etc/modules
 modprobe fuse
 chmod 777 /dev/fuse

To activate klik2 for each user, add the login name into the fuse group :

 usermod -G fuse [your_user]

Done! Test it with:

 klik hardinfo

openSUSE 10.2 HD install, 10.3

IMPORTANT! On openSUSE Live, do: mkdir /tmp/klik && mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp/klik

 su
 smart install subversion python-gtk
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/
 cd client/trunk/
 python install.py
 exit

Done! Test it with:

 klik get xvier

Remarks re. openSUSE on harddisk:

if you don't know it yet: install the "webpin" commandline utility from http://software.opensuse.org/download/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_10.2 -- because with "webpin --url somename" you can search for any package (or file) name (or part of a name) to see which repositories and which package has it on offer. It helps you close holes caused missing dependencies. You'll probably need "xdg-utils", for example. - KillerKiwi : we include our own copy of xdg-utils in case it is not installed

Sidux

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get -y install subversion rpm python-glade2
 mkdir ~/klikclient-svn
 cd ~/klikclient-svn
 svn co http://klikclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/trunk/
 cd trunk/
 sudo python install.py

Done! Test it with:

 klik get xvier

Tested live on sidux 2007-04.5 kde-full.

To Be Done

create a list of packages (and their URLs) to be installed into the base system to make klik2 work. (probono: klik should not need anything besides what comes with the base system/is part of the LSB: pipitas: I agree. That's the future. The keyword is "should". But life is different, and life is now. Users in reality do run systems that don't comply to LSB yet.)

If the instructions don't work, please feel free to simplify/correct them ;-)
