 Linux installation - How To


Step 1 - Download
Download and copy the self extracting file to a directory of your choice where you want the application to be installed in. The installer will create a sub directory named kcc inside the directory, where the installer is located in.


Step 2 - Execute the installer
Start the installation by executing the self extracting file. Change to the directory where the installer is located in and type the appropriate commands for the package you've downloaded:

    Install the full version:

    chmod 755 kcc-v100b3-linux-full.bin
    ./kcc-v100b3-linux-full.bin

    Install the compact version:

    chmod 755 kcc-v100b3-linux-compact.bin
    ./kcc-v100b3-linux-compact.bin


Step 3 - Connect the java runtime
If you've downloaded the full version of the KCC with an integrated java runtime you may skip this step and proceed with step 4. If you've downloaded the compact version of the KCC without the java runtime, please open the file start.sh in the new KCC directory with the text editor of your choice and change the setting for the variable JAVA_HOME. Please enter the location of your java runtime there.


Step 4 - Run the application
Change to the new directory named kcc and run the application by typing:

    ./start.sh

 Troubleshooting


1.
When starting the filesharing server with the default port 80, I get an error message although there's definitely no program listening on port 80.

Linux doesn't allow non root users to access the ports below 1023. There are two possibilites:

    1.1
    Use a port greater than 1023 (8080 e.g.).

    1.2.
    Run the program as root. Close the KCC, open a shell, enter the command 'su -m' (without the quotation marks), enter the root password and restart the program with './start.sh'.

2.
I've added new networks, servers and channels. After a new start of the application everything I've added is gone.

This may happen, if you've installed the application as a certain user, but now running the application as a different user. Open a file shell, login as root (enter 'su -m'and enter the root password), change to the KCC directory and enter the command 'chmod 766 kcc.prop' (without the quotation marks).
