Misc:

PrefsEditors

Let's assume that your Linux installation has a user called 'pilot2' and that you install the prefseditors under /home/pilot2. You go to /home/pilot2: open a terminal an enter the following command: 

 cd /home/pilot2

Then enter 

   git clone https://github.com/GPII/prefsEditors.git

This will create a directory called 'prefsEditors' inside /home/pilot2.

So to update the code later, you enter the following commands: 

   cd /home/pilot2/prefsEditors 
   git fetch origin 
   git merge origin/master

After this, you still need to copy these files to the web server. You can optionally create a subdirectory for Cloud4all on the webserver and then copy the files to that directory: 

 cd /var/www/html
 sudo mkdir cloud4all
 sudo cp -r /home/pilot2/prefsEditors  /var/www/html/cloud4all/

Then start the webserver and register it as a service: 

 sudo service httpd start
 sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

You can now find the preference editors at http://localhost/cloud4all/prefsEditors/demos/prefsEditor/.

Pilots Config Tool

The PilotsConfig tool is available as an RPM package. To install it, run the following command in a terminal: 

 sudo yum install gpii-pilotsConfig

You can then start it using the following command: 

 gpii-pilotsConfig

You can then access it at the URL http://localhost:8888/start.

Chrome on Fedora

Easy Chrome Installation

Just go to www.google.com/chrome/browser/ and start the download-and-install process.

Nerdy Chrome Installation

First, add the Google repo to YUM. Open an editor and create a file with the repo data: 

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo

In the editor, paste the following code:

For a 32-bit version of Fedora: 

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - 32-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

For a 64-bit version of Fedora: 

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - 64-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Save the file and exit the editor.

Then, to install the stable version of Google Chrome, enter the following command in a terminal: 

yum install google-chrome-stable
