Installing Forte for multiple users ?Re: [SLE] IDE for java

Hi I tried to install NetBeans but again I could only install as a single user. So I downloaded Forte and installed it as /root but its only available as root, is there any way I can install so that the students can use the Forte IDE without installing for each user any help would be greatly appreciated kindest regards John Proctor Tresham Institute.

I have just installed NetBeans on 8.0 successfully, and it looks very nice. Here's what I did:

1. Download and install the j2sdk1.4.0_01 from www.sun.com (Java 2 SDK) 2. download the NetBeans "bin" file for linux 3. Run the command "chmod +x NetBeansIDE-release34-linux.bin" 4. Run the following command: # ./NetBeansIDE-release34-linux.bin -is:javahome <path to your j2sdk1.4.0_01 directory> You can try running just "./NetBeansIDE-release34-linux.bin", and it will search for your j2sdk directory, but it wouldn't work for me. 5. Also, I found that for some reason, it would only install for me as a normal user. I could never get it to work as root. 6. I also had a problem w/ the default directory it wanted to create and install to. It could not write to it. So I created the directory myself (as root) and gave it 777 permissions. This is the only way it would install for me.

We've been using it at work for about a year now, and I recommend installing from the tarball (NetBeansIDE-release34.tar.gz) rather than the script. Just unpack it to the directory you want it in (making sure you have permissions there), and then start it with bin/runide.sh passing the argument "-jdkhome /usr/lib/java" (or wherever you have Java installed). You could also put this in bin/ide.cfg.

The user directory, by default, is ~/.netbeans/3.4 which there should be no permission problems with.

The NetBeans mailing lists, especially nbusers, are highly recommended:
