Netbeans on FC4 for "all users"?
|
|
| Gwen Morse 2006-04-27, 6:54 am |
| Is there some way to install one version of Netbeans (that can be
updated from a central login, such as root or even a Netbeans user)
that "all users" can then use?
I installed Netbeans as root on my FC4 laptop and then ran it as my
main user. I had to immediately reinstall all the updates in the
user's home directory. This uses 'home' space I'd rather not dedicate
to Netbeans, itself. Particularly since root had the same updated
version.

How did you install it? I hope I'm not being thick here, but I just
recently ran netbeans-5_0-linux.bin as root, and the application was
automatically installed in /opt/netbeans-5.0 and its subdirectories,
after which it was automatically available under my non-root user
account (although my configuration settings had to be migrated from
~/.netbeans/4.1 to ~/.netbeans/5.0).

| Offhand, it occurs to me that maybe I should mention something else:
Before I installed 5.0, I uninstalled 4.1, and then afterward (also as
root) I ran the command "update-desktop-database" (so the icon that
appeared in the desktop start menu was the one pointing to the new
version - it's an orange icon, whereas the one for 4.1 is blue). If
the old version was still there, and you inadvertently ran it instead
of the new one, either with a command or an icon....

I installed it as root. I think it was 4.1 as I have a blue icon, not
orange. I installed it some time ago.
Anyway, the program is available to other users on my machine.
However, each user has to download the updates to the application for
themselves. To repeat - the program is available to all users,
however, each user only has a basic install with no 'updates'.
I did first update it as root, so, it wasn't that I forgot to do that.

The available updates that are installed from the IDE itself? Using
version 5.0, I get to a "view certificates and install modules" page
with a "global" checkbox; when this is checked it installs the updates
in the application installation directory instead of the user home
directory. I didn't run NetBeans as root; I just temporarily changed
the permissions of the installation directory during the update, and
then it allowed that. I don't know whether version 4.1 works the same
way though.

I'll check for this in 4.1, and/or update to version 5.0 by
uninstalling the 4.1 and installing 5.0 as a new install.

Thanks for the above information!
