LINA 0.95 supports the following Linux distributions:

Other Operating Systems will be added as we complete testing on that platform.

Before installing LINA 0.95 on Linux, you MUST disable SE Linux. This primarily affects Fedora installs and will not be necessary in the next LINA release. Here is how to disable it using the SELinux configuration file:http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html

On SLES, you will need to edit the sudoers file using /usr/sbin/visudo, and add "!" in front of env_reset and in front of always_set_home.

On Ubuntu, you must set a root password before installing LINA

Other than that you will need an internet connection, approximately 250 MB of disk space, and Administrator privileges on the system where you want to install LINA.

Open a terminal window, cd to the directory where you downloaded the LINA installer and type the appropriate variation of the following at the command line: sudo ./LINA-for-debian-4-x86-32.sh

Open this LINA disk by double-clicking on it and open the LINA.pkg file by double-clicking on it. It will ask to run a program to determine if the LINA software can be installed. Please say “yes” and Allow it to “Continue” by clicking the “Continue” button. Click through the resulting install screens. Choosing the default responses should work fine.

The installer may appear to freeze during various steps of the process. We will address the accuracy of the progress bars in the next release. The duration of the installation process varies with the speed, memory availability and internet connection speed of your system. Once the Installer has completed you are ready to install a LINA application.

The section will walk you through the process of installing LINA on Linux. Open a terminal session and start the installation process as root via sudo. Note that you must use sudo, su will NOT suffice.
