Hello everyone, sorry but I am new at this and I just had double by pass surgery two months ago so my head is still in a fog.
I wanted to download My Robot Lab and install it on to Linux 12.04 after watching Greg's video on youtube. So I went to myrobotlab.org and clicked on the download tab just like in the video. I downloaded the latest ver 1.0.107 of the zip, tar.gz and jar file. I unpacked each into there separate folder on to my desktop but I could not find the myrobotlab.bat or .sh (shell script) files to click on like in the video so I am at a lose. I also tried looking for a ./configure when unpacking the tar.gz file in the terminal program but could not find one as well. I have looked through some of the text files that unpacked but none seem to have the answers I needed to get things installed.
Kwatters was helping me earler today and said the program was just a java appt. The video said that I needed java 1.5 or higher to run the software and I think I now have java-7 loaded but not sure if it is runing so I did a terminal search for 7 and this is what I came up with.

I think I have everything loaded I just need to know how and which file to run because it is all different from what is in the video now.
here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9t_ZXwVmhU
Thank you for any and all help.
Hi Kenn and Welcome !
Hi Kenn and Welcome ! :)
Posting is better than the shoutbox for a couple reason. Shoutbox is very "temporary", with a post more than a couple people can contribute and it will persist - possibly for the next person who has a similar question.
So let's start with the video .. heh .. that was made in 2011 .. Dog years are 7 to 1, but Computer Years are nearly 30 to 1 ... so that was like 150 years ago !!! Lots has changed.
Change #1 You want Java 1.7 .. type the following to install it
verify in the terminal type
if it does not come back with a 1.7 in the response somewhere you have multiple versions, you will want to select the "default" one to be 1.7. You can do this with this nifty utility:
read about details here if you want
Change #2 There are no more scripts to start.. Just download the myrobotlab.jar (only file you need) and in the terminal where you downloaded it type ....
Hopefully this will help you out..
Hi Grog
Hi Grog,

Now I do get a shell program running with a Welcome, gui and runtime tab but no services or custom tabs. I think all these Error might have to do with that because it looks like it was going along okay.
Thank you for your help, Kenn.
Progress ! That's
Progress ! That's great...
You get all the services installed by clicking on the runtime->system->install all
More Progress...
Okay I think I get this, to run the software each time you have to go into the terminal, change to the correct directory and type java -jar myrobotlab.jar which starts the shell program and runs the software. Wonder if I can make a short cut?
Okay so I clicked on runtime->system->install all and this is what I got.

Okay I only see two Error's hopefully they wont cause much problems.
Thank you, Kenn.
short way to launch if it's
short way to launch if it's executable is to double click on it...
if it s not type :
chmod +x myrobotlab.jar
hope it helps
Ale
launcher or desktop short cut
Thank you for the reply Alessandruino,
I also found this web page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
I figure having a short cut to open the program each time would be better in the long run, but first I think I will try and put everything into one folder instead of all over the desktop.
Next I need to see if I can hook up a Parallax Servo Controller because that is all I have at the moment plus it has 16 ports.
Thank you, Kenn.
What hardware do tou have?
What hardware do tou have? And what is the project going to be? Just curious!
