Asus Eee PC

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 (Note: if this package is out of date, create your own.)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.

Run bibledit.

Install the optional components.

If collaboration is used, then git needs to be updated to version 1.5 or higher.
