How To: Install on Linux
From OpenLaszlo
This is just one woman's account of shuffling around trying to assemble working instructions. The documentation that "README.txt" points to (http://www.openlaszlo.org/documentation) didn't quite cut it for me.
- Download the version you want to work with.
- Make sure you have a Java Development Kit installed. I'm running Ubuntu so I used aptitude install icedtea-java7-jdk
- Sort out the $JAVA_HOME. I found it thusly: locate java | grep lib. If you're being literal you probably want to give it the old sudo updatedb if you've only just installed java. I set $JAVA_HOME with the following bash command: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea
- Test your setup by trying to load http://localhost:8080/lps-4.0.6/examples/hello.lzx
By the time you read this, you're liable to be working on a newer version than 4.0.6, so when you get the inevitable Tomcat error, consider that a good sign and adjust your path accordingly. If you're really confused, try locate hello.lzx
