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:

I'm not sure what you've tried. I just installed NetBeans (both versions) as well as Forte. I ran the installations as root and I have no problems whatever with running the programs as a local user. Tell us exactly what you've tried and any error messages you may have received along the way, and odds are someone on the list will be able to say what you're doing wrong regards Anders PS. I had no idea InstallShield was ported to linux. That's actually cool :)
