Linux Install

Before we start java needs to be installed. By deafult on some installations of Linux java will be installed by default. This version needs to be removed as it causes problems later. To check whether java is installed run:

rpm -qa | grep java

Once run, if the shell returns any results you'll need to remove java. Other wise skip this step.

yum remove java

Otherwise for debian systems run:

apt-get remove java

Now that we have removed java you will need to install the official binaries (JRE 1.6) from the java website http://www.sun.com

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#lin

Then choose based on your architecture either x64_86 or i386 your'll need to download the RPM self-extracting version. For example:

cd /tmp && wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=29209
chmod +x *-rpm.bin
./*-rpm.bin

After executing the following commands the installer will install java. Next check java has been installed by running:

java -version

java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)

Now we can start to install Mint Panel, you can get the latest version by visiting: http://update.mintpanel.com/latest.tar.gz

wget http://update.mintpanel.com/latest.tar.gz && tar -zxvf slave.tar.gz

Once you have downloaded this file to your local machine you can then run it.

java -jar mintpanel.jar

The setup sould detect that Mint Panel has not been installed, you will now be able to follow the setup instructions.
