I'm relatively new to ubuntu, and was wondering how i could possibly install software on here. I've been having problems with Synaptics, but I think it's ok for now.
There's a software called campcaster which I want to try out, so I went to the site and clicked download on this (http://www.campware.org/en/camp/campcaster_news/) page, and I got to this (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136949) page. Now I didn't know which one to choose, as I have no clue what dapper is. I clicked on the first one, and I get a campcaster archive and a campacter_libraries archive. I'm not sure which one to download, so I download the first one.
Once I've downloaded and extracted the top one, i get a folder. I click on the install notes, and it says to look in doc/installubuntu.html. I read this page, and it says the following:
Installation instructions
1. Install the tools, libraries and services
Run the apt-get install command given on our wiki page.
2. Obtain the Campcaster sources
If you are reading this, you probably already have the sources, so you can skip to the next step.
If you do not have the sources yet, you need to get the tarballs named campcaster-<version>.tar.bz2 and campcaster-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2. Both can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/campcaster/.
3. Compile and install Campcaster
To install Campcaster in /opt/campcaster, do the following:
tar xfj campcaster-<version>.tar.bz2
tar xfj campcaster-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2
cd campcaster-<version>
./configure --prefix=/opt/campcaster --with-apache-group=www-data
sudo make install
4. Configure the external services
Before you can use Campcaster, you need to set up and configure the web server and the database that Campcaster uses to store its data. Type the following:
sudo ./bin/postInstallStation.sh --directory=/opt/campcaster \
--apache-group=www-data \
--postgresql-dir=/etc/postgresql/8.1/main \
--postgresql-init-script=/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1
5. Start Campcaster
After a successful installation, the Campcaster scheduler has to be started, by typing:
/opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-scheduler.sh start
To use the the web interface, point your browser to http://localhost/campcaster. You can also use the web interface from other computers; simply put the name or IP number of the computer where Campcaster was installed in place of localhost.
To start Campcaster Studio, type the following:
/opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-studio.sh
For your first login, use the following values:
* username: root
* password: q
Later you can change the password, and add more users, from the web interface.
You can make the scheduler start automatically when the system boots up, by doing the following:
sudo cp /opt/livesupport/etc/campcaster-scheduler /etc/init.d/
sudo update-rc.d campcaster-scheduler defaults 92
You can quickly fill your Campcaster storage with audio files using the mass import script:
sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/import.sh --directory=<some directory>
Have fun!
To start with the apt-get thing is linked to this (http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/wiki/DevelopmentEnvironment#a1.Installpackages) page. Now I am completely and utterly confused as to which directions to follow.
There's also a config file in the directory. Should I run that??
1. Which campcaster files should I download?
2. Where do I start??
3. What's dapper?
4. Do I run the config file?
Easy questions, I know...
