    Hi all im trying to install the kraken on my oracle vm box



    following the guide in the [H]ard forum,



    when i get to step 4: install it and type:



    cd thekraken*



    i get:

    -bash cd: thekraken: not a directory



    as im not sure where the kraken files are on my pc i think thats why its doing it?



    cheers

    That means you didn't extract it in step 3 :
    Code:
    tar xvf thekraken*.*

    Looks like your not un taring the .gz that you downloaded. But a folder instead.

    Remove any folder referencing kraken and start again.

    Code:
    rm -rf thekraken*
    Then download it again and extract it again. And yes, you probably already untarred it.

    Ubuntu/Debian:
    Code:
    apt-get install sudo
    Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS :
    Code:
    yum install sudo
    Arch Linux :
    Code:
    pacman -S sudo
    Gentoo :
    Code:
    emerge sudo

    Didn't notice you run as root. Well, then just remove sudo from the command, ie run only this :
    Code:
    make install

    Well then you have to use a different distribution. It seems the one you downloaded is a bare linux install with minimal stuff, just to run what is installed there (in that image) and nothing else.

    I would suggest you to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine, it is really not that hard (if it asks you maybe 10 simple questions) and in a virtual machine there is nothing to screw up.

    Sorry, i can help you with Linux questions, but not with folding application questions.

    But maybe this helps ?

    By the way, if you need an easier way to walk in the filesystem and edit files, then install Midnight Commander using :
    Code:
    apt-get install mc
    And then run it when needed using :
    Code:
    mc

    Where do you run HFM?


    I run HFM on one of my windows computer and have my linux box setup to have the FAH folder as the web root. Then HFM can add a v6 client and point to its IP address as a web source.

    I followed this guide:

    http://www.overclock.net/t/1206894/hpcs-setup-guide-linux-and-windows

    Click on the Linux guide and then pick quick or comprehensive.

    You are then looking for the part about HFM further down, which will be another + button to reveal.


    So long as you dont need your vm for an apache server then you're good to go. :)


    I got the link from here: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=3004003&postcount=4


    Hope that helps. :geek:
