Installing StockMarketEye¶

1. Download the installer jar file to your hard drive. The downloaded file is called

   StockMarketEye-<version>-Linux-Install.sh.

2. When the download has finished, change the file permissions on the downloaded installer so that it is executable. You can do this by right-clicking on the StockMarketEye-<version>-Linux-Install.sh file and checking the “Allow executing file as program” option.

   

   or via the command line:

   %> chmod 755 StockMarketEye-<version>-Linux-Install.sh

3. Then run the installation file by double-clicking on it or from the command line with:

   %> ./StockMarketEye-<version>-Linux-Install.sh

4. Follow the instructions in the installer window. By installing StockMarketEye, you are implicitly agreeing to our End User License Agreement.

5. When the installation is complete, you can run StockMarketEye from the application menu (under the Office category), or from the command line like:

   %> $HOME/StockMarketEye/StockMarketEye.sh

NOTE: Your Linux distribution may not have installed Java by default. Java is required to run StockMarketEye. On Ubuntu you can install Java with the following command:

%> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

NOTE: StockMarketEye prefers Oracle Java, but should also run with OpenJDK.

Other Installation Notes¶
