Ninan is a server-side program to download from binary newsgroups. It requires JAVA installed because its accessed/configured via a web browser (Firefox etc)
If you want a simpler application, look at http://www.lottanzb.org/
http://ninan.org for more info.
Make sure Java is installed.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin unrar par2
Open up a terminal
cd
wget http://ninanbetas.ninan.org/ninan-2.1.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf ninan-2.1.0.tar.gz
cd ~/ninan-2.1.0
chmod 755 ninancore.sh ninanstop.sh upgradeninan.sh createMYSQLDB.sh
Next edit ~/ninan-2.1.0/ninancore.sh
gedit ~/ninan-2.1.0/ninancore.sh
Next, enter this on a free line BETWEEN "fi" and "touch restart"
cd /home/your-username/ninan-2.1.0
CHANGE YOUR-USERNAME TO YOUR USERNAME OBVIOUSLY
and save it.
Now we`ll make a launcher for it. Terminal again
gedit ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop
and copy/paste this whole block of text and save it.

chmod +x ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop
You should now see a new launcher with ninan icon on your desktop.
Just run it (you wont see anything happening) and after a few seconds when its loaded, load up your web browser and point it to http://localhost:9090/ninan

You can now setup your news server and a lot of other stuff.
If you would like Ninan to be autostarted upon boot, got System/Preferences - Startup Applications and click ADD and use this info
