How to get Simba working in Linux

This is a quick tutorial over how I got Simba working on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 64bit.

Steps to get Simba working:

First install a keybinder by:
1. Click the Ubuntu Software Center Icon on the unity task bar
2. Search for keybinder
3. Select a python keybinder from the list and click to install it

Now you're ready for simba
1. First download the file from here: http://nala.villavu.com/downloads/master/5bce63f527ee0ebe38d921d1ddb1c73ab203d89d/ (I chose Simba.x86_64-linux)
2. Open the terminal (CRTL+ALT+T)
3. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and change it to an executable by typing “chmod +x Simba.x86_64-linux” change the file name if you downloaded a different file then me
4. Okay now you can run the file by typing out its path and name; I placed it in my Downloads directory so I typed: “~/Downloads/Simba.x86_64-linux” WARNING: doing this will extract all files for simba to this directory so you may consider moving it to another directory before you execute this application.

Now there are still many other hurtles to be faced when running scripts in linux: LAPE compatablity, SMART, java problems. Feel free to post any problems you have so we can get them answered.

Again I'm not an expert, I'm still not sure how to get the extensions working. If you know how please post.

Special thanks to Dgby714 for helping me navigate the installation of SIMBA on LINUX.

Remember you can always just run linux in wine to avoid all the headaches look here for instructions on that: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47714&highlight=ubuntu

BTW You only need the library no need to install pythons headers for it as well.

Does anyone know the packages libkeybinder comes in?

Do you have installed java on wine

You must have the newest windows version of java installed through wine for smart to load correctly.

UPDATE: you don't need to have java installed in wine, you can run RS natively if you install the right version of java: check out my thread on installing ORACLE java 7: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1049989#post1049989
