================================= Installation of The Tracking Derby Agent 1.5 version for Linux ================================= 1. Complete installation ------------------------ Download and move the file "TrackingDerbyAgent_v1.5_LinuxInstaller.bin" into the folder where you want to install the agent. It is a self-extractible file. Use the following commands to install it: chmod +x ./TrackingDerbyAgent_v1.5_LinuxInstaller.bin ./TrackingDerbyAgent_v1.5_LinuxInstaller.bin The installation program is going to create a folder "./TrackingDerbyAgent_v1.5/" which will contain the agent. 2. Update from 1.x version ------------------------------------ If you already have an installed version of the agent, you can download only the update: "TrackingDerbyAgentUpgrade_v1.5_Linux.tar.gz". To decompress it, use the following commands: gunzip ./TrackingDerbyAgentUpgrade_v1.5_Linux.tar.gz tar xvf TrackingDerbyAgentUpgrade_v1.5_Linux.tar Move the updated files into the folder where the agent was installed: mv -f * If you have forgotten in which folder it is, you can use the command: find / -type f -name "TrackingDerby.sh" Moving some files will lead to delete these following files, "TrackingDerby.jar", "LICENSE.TXT" et "README.TXT" , and to create a "plugins" sub-folder in the agent directory. 3. Addition of the GPSBabel plugin --------------------------- Start with downloading a GPSBabel Linux version. You will find the 1.3.1. version in the following URL: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gpsbabel/gpsbabel-1.3.1-0.i386.rpm?download You must have the administrator rights to install GPSBabel. Once GPSBabel is installed, you must create a link so that the v1.5 agent will find it: cd /plugins/ ln -s /gpsbabel ./gpsbabel When launching the agent, you can check that GPSBabel has been properly found, thanks to messages in the "logs" window. 4. The agent launching ----------------------- This is how you must launch the agent : cd ./TrackingDerby.sh 5. Problems of connection with the serial port -------------------------------------------------- If you have problems connecting with the serial port, it may be a problem of rights related to your Linux user. You will find more information on this subject in the folder "/extra".
