Installing Komodo on Linux
This version of Komodo allows non-root installation on Linux. Note, however, that the user who executes the license file will be the user who is licensed to use the software.
To install Komodo on Linux:
Download the Komodo installer (.tar.gz file) into a convenient directory.
Unpack the tarball:
tar -xvzf Komodo-<version>-<platform>.tar.gz
Change to the new directory:
cd Komodo-<version>-<platform>
Run the install script ("install.sh"):
./install.sh
Answer the installer prompts:
Specify where you want Komodo installed, or press 'Enter' to accept the default location (/home/<username>/Komodo-<IDE|Edit>-x.y).The -I option can be used to specify the install directory. For example:
./install.sh -I ~/opt/Komodo-IDE-4.2
If multiple users are sharing the system and will be using the same installation, install Komodo in a location every user can access (e.g. /opt/Komodo-x.x/ or /usr/local/Komodo-x.x/).
Note:
Each Komodo user requires their own license key.
Do not install Komodo in a path that contains spaces or non-alphanumeric characters.
Be sure to install Komodo into its own directory (i.e. not directly in an existing directory containing shared files and directories such as /usr/local).
Once the installer has finished, add Komodo to your PATH with one of the following:
Add Komodo/bin to your PATH directly:
export PATH=<installdir>/bin:$PATH
Add a symlink to Komodo/bin/komodo from another directory in your PATH:
ln -s <installdir>/bin/komodo /usr/local/bin/komodo
Note: Creating symlinks in system directories such as /usr/bin requires root access.
After completing the installation, you can delete the temporary directory where the Komodo tarball was unpacked.
