Hi Anders you said As the system administrator you can put it in the system menu. How would I go about doing that John Proctor.

Ok Anders I downloaded Forte onto the root Desktop. I then ran chmod to make executable, and the run the downloaded binary from the root desktop. It then asked me for the directory in which to install so I entered: /root/

Well, this is your problem. You should have put it in a directory where your students have permission to see it. The only user permitted to use root's home directory is root.

I installed it in /opt/forte_jdk as the installer suggested by default.

But when I log in as any other user (accept for root) I cant obtain an icon or any way of running forte.

As the system administrator you can put it in the system menu, or you can instruct the students to right-click on the desktop, select new->Link to application, give them the path to the executable and there's a nice desktop icon in the icons directory where the runide.sh file is.
