Install Bibledit on the XO machine

Install Bibledit on a Fedora Core 7 system, see the instructions for how to do that.

Ensure that Bibledit runs properly on this Fedora system.

Collect all files and dependencies Bibledit needs. To do this, type

bibledit-olpc-librarian bibledit-xo-x.x

This will create a file called bibledit-xo-x.x.tar.gz. This file contains all files and dependencies you need to get Bibledit on the XO machine. At the time of writing the size of the file was about 23 Mbyte.

Note that at times such a tarball is available through the bibledit-xo-x.x.tar.gz that can be downloaded.

Start the XO machine, and connect it to the network.

Start a Terminal by clicking the Terminal activity icon.

Move the file bibledit-xo tarball to the XO machine's home directory.

Open a terminal.

In the terminal, login as user root. Type

su -l

No password should be asked.

Move the bibledit-xo tarball, downloaded above, to the root directory:

mv /home/olpc/bibledit-xo-x.x.tar.gz /

Unpack this tarball:

cd /
tar zxf bibledit-xo-x.x.tar.gz

Install git:

yum install git-core

Exit from user root.

To run Bibledit, in the terminal type

bibledit

Next time, the only thing needed to start Bibledit, is to start the Terminal and type "bibledit" in it.
