FreeDATA/tools/Linux

Suggested instructions for using the install and run scripts.

To install the FreeDATA software:

Open a terminal shell and run the following commands:

mkdir ~/freedata

cd ~/freedata

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DJ2LS/FreeDATA/develop/tools/Linux/install-freedata-linux.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DJ2LS/FreeDATA/develop/tools/Linux/run-freedata-linux.sh

To install from the main FreeDATA branch, run:
bash install-freedata-linux.sh

or to install from the develop FreeDATA branch, run:
bash install-freedata-linux.sh develop


To run the FreeDATA software:

Open a terminal shell and run the following commands:

cd ~/freedata

bash run-freedata-linux.sh


To view debugging output while running FreeDATA:

Open a terminal shell.

cd ~/freedata

To view the GUI debug output:
tail -f FreeDATA-client.log

To view the server debug output:
tail -f FreeDATA-server.log


The run script looks for the config.ini file at: 
$HOME/.config/FreeDATA/config.ini

If it isn't found, we place a copy of config.ini.example into that location
to give FreeDATA something to start with.  Changes to the defaults can be
made within the FreeDATA GUI.
