Need help with .sh installation

[Ameades]

Hey guys,

First off, I am looking for a program that will enable me play music off my computer by saying the name of the artist/song into a mic. I found this program called talkhouse and they have a linux version. The download is called talkhouse_unix.sh and when I go to install it I does not complete.

When the Java box pops up for the installation it is blank and then nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this or could suggest a program that does the same thing and is free???

I am not that familiar with this but it looks like all you need to do is install java. The web site does not provide much info does it.
Open a terminal and at the prompt copy and paste the following:

sudo apt-get remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin unrar

If that does not work then maybe someone else will post a solution or you may need to ask the help at talkhouse for more info.
