The instructions assume a working Eee PC.
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-t.
Add repositories to the list. To do that open an editor:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add this line to the list:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib
Save the file and quit the editor.
Update aptitude, to do that, type
sudo apt-get update
Install software, to do that, type
sudo apt-get install git-core sudo apt-get install libxul-dev sudo apt-get install libenchant-dev
Download binary package bibledit-x.x-asus-eeepc-bin.tar.gz (x.x is to be replaced with the actual version number). (Note: if this package is out of date, create your own.)
Store the package in the home directory, that is directory /home/user.
In the terminal, to verify the bibledit package is there, type
ls
Move the package to the root directory. To do that, type
sudo mv bibledit*bin.tar.gz /
Go to the root directory. Type
cd /
Install the binary package. To do that, type
sudo tar zxf bibledit*bin.tar.gz
cd /eeepc
sudo ./eeepc-install-menu
After rebooting the machine, the Bibledit icon is in the Work tab.
Install the optional components.
If collaboration is used, then git needs to be updated to version 1.5 or higher.
