DiType on Linux and Unix
DiType runs fine on Linux and Unix (checked on FC5 and FreeBSD6.1). The distributions lack the GUI tools (ActiType, DiType Assistant).
Unpack
$ tar -xzvf ditype-linux-0611140832.tar.gz ditype.tgz revision install.sh $
Install
Default installation asks for the target directory, temporary directory to be used by DiType, and license file
$ ./install.sh linux-gnu Ditype installation directory [/opt/RenderX/ditype] : /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux Directory for temporary files [/tmp/ditype] : /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux/tmp License file [license.xml] : /home/msulyaev/license.xml Installation directory: /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux Temporary directory: /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux/tmp License: /home/msulyaev/license.xml Please wait... Copying license file to `/home/msulyaev/ditype-linux/etc/license.xml' Done $
Alternatively, you may avoid interactivity by appending required params to the command line:
$ D=/home/msulyaev/ditype-linux $ T=$D/tmp $ L=/home/msulyaev/license.xml $ ./install.sh -d $D -t $T -l $L linux-gnu Installation directory: /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux Temporary directory: /home/msulyaev/ditype-linux/tmp License: /home/msulyaev/license.xml Please wait... Copying license file to `/home/msulyaev/ditype-linux/etc/license.xml' Done $
