Acumem SpotLite InstallationAcumem SpotLite is normally installed from two packages:
Download the packages corresponding to your platform and install according to instructions below. Linux on x86/x86_64Acumem SpotLite supports both 32 bit and 64 bit Linux installations. Users running a 32 bit installation should use packages with the i486 architecture tag, users of 64 bit distributions should use the 64 bit packages with the x86_64 architecture tag. Using the 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit system may, depending on available system libraries, work, but limits data acquisition to 32 bit applications. Users who are unsure of whether their installation is a 64 bit or 32 bit may issue the following command to determine that: $ uname -m
Your installation supports 64 bit application if the output of the command is x86_64. Distributions with RPM support (Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS/SUSE/...)Installing the RPM packages normally requires root access to the target system. If you do not have root access to the target system, you may still install Acumem SpotLite in your home directory using the ".tar.gz" packages described in the section Distributions without native RPM or DEB support. Download the ".rpm" packages tagged for the architecture you are running and install by double clicking the files (using the default system package manager), or by issuing the following commands as root (replace arch with the architecture you are using): # rpm -Uvh acumem-spotlite-1.0.0-2.arch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh acumem-spotlite-freedesktop-1.0.0-2.arch.rpm
The product is installed as /opt/acumem/spotlite/bin/spotlite by default, and a Gnome/KDE menu entry is installed under the "Programming" category. Note that the installation package for Acumem SpotLite will not update the default PATH environment variable, i.e., you won't be able to start it by issuing spotlite on the command line, but should instead provide the full path to the binary (/opt/acumem/spotlite/bin/spotlite). You may add this directory to PATH yourself. If you wish to uninstall Acumem SpotLite, issue the following commands as root: # rpm -e acumem-spotlite-freedesktop
# rpm -e acumem-spotlite
Distributions with DEB support (Debian/Ubuntu/...)Installing DEB packages requires root access on the target system. Users wishing to install Acumem SpotLite without having root access may proceed to the section Distributions without native RPM or DEB support for an alternative installation package. Download the ".deb" packages tagged for the architecture you are running and install by double clicking the files (using the default package manager), or by issuing the following command as root (replace arch with the architecture you are using):
# dpkg -i acumem-spotlite-1.0.0-2.arch.deb
The product is installed as /opt/acumem/spotlite/bin/spotlite by default, and a Gnome/KDE menu entry is installed under the "Programming" category. Note that the installation package for Acumem SpotLite will not update the default PATH environment variable, i.e., you won't be able to start it by issuing spotlite on the command line, but should instead provide the full path to the binary (/opt/acumem/spotlite/bin/spotlite). You may add this directory to PATH yourself. If you wish to uninstall Acumem SpotLite, issue the following command as root: # dpkg -r acumem-spotlite
Distributions without native RPM or DEB support (Gentoo/Slackware/...)Users wishing to install Acumem SpotLite without on a system without native RPM support or without root access may use the ".tar.gz" packages instead of the RPM packages. These packages lack some of the features of the RPM packages, most notably desktop integration. To install the packages download the ".tar.gz" file with tagged for the architecture you are running and decompress the files using the default graphical compression utility by double clicking on the file, or by issuing the following commands (replace arch with the architecture you are using): # tar -zxf acumem-spotlite-1.0.0.arch.tar.gz
The command above decompresses Acumem SpotLite into the directory acumem-spotlite-1.0.0 in the current working directory. To start Acumem SpotLite, execute bin/spotlite in the installation directory. To uninstall the product, simply remove the acumem-spotlite-1.0.0 directory. Solaris/x86Download the ".pkg" packages and install by issuing the following commands with superuser permissions: # pkgadd -d ACUspotlite-1.0.0.i386.pkg
# pkgadd -d ACUspotlited-1.0.0.i386.pkg
The product will be installed as /opt/acumem/spotlite/bin/spotlite, and a Java Desktop System menu entry is installed. If you wish to uninstall Acumem SpotLite, issue the following commands with superuser permissions: # pkgrm ACUspotlited
# pkgrm ACUspotlite
