Re: [Question #76465]: Want to install a program not in the registry

 

Question #76465 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76465

marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
In short open a terminal (applications → accessories → terminal): type
or better copy and paste the rows, below, one row a time then press
enter:

cd
mkdir cronometer
cd cronometer
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/cronometer/CRONoMeter-0.9.6.zip
wget http://spaz.ca/cronometer/cronometer.sh

Open the cronometer.sh file, type:

gedit cronometer.sh

and put this contents in it deleting previous contents:

#!/bin/sh

# INSTRUCTIONS
#  1) Install Java 1.5 or later for Linux (http://java.com/download/)
#  2) Download Mac OS X Version and Unzip in desired location
#  3) Place this launcher script next to the application bundle 
#  4) Execute script to launch CRON-o-Meter

cd $HOME/cronometer
cd "CRONoMeter.app/Contents/Resources/Java/"
java -cp cronometer.jar:jcommon-1.0.10.jar:jfreechart-1.0.6.jar:swingx-0.9.3.ja



Save and exit then type:

chmod 700 cronometer.sh
unzip CRONoMeter-0.9.6.zip
./cronometer.sh

After you can create a desktop launcher for the Cronometer (rigth click
with mouse on the desktop): you need to call the
$HOME/cronometer/cronometer.sh file.

Hope this helps
