1 Introduction

This page is dedicated to explaining how to install Helyx-OS in Fedora.

If you do not yet feel comfortable using Linux, then perhaps you better first read the page Working with the Shell and train a bit with the shell/terminal environments, so you can have a better perception of the steps shown below.


2 Copy-Paste steps

A few notes before you start copy-pasting:

  1. Lines that start with # don't have to be copy-pasted. They are just comments to let you know what's going on.
  2. One wrong character is enough for breaking this guide, so make sure you can read the characters properly or that the installed language system does not break the copied characters!


2.1 Helyx-OS v2.3.1

Valid versions: OF Version 24.png

In this section are the instructions meant for Helyx-OS v2.3.1.

Note: If you have the 64 bit architecture of Ubuntu, perhaps it's best to follow the official installation instructions: Installation of the Latest 64 Bit Linux Binaries @ Github

The following is undergoing reconstruction...

=== Fedora 17 ===

==== Fedora 17 32bit ====
'''Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps''': [http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-meshing-snappyhexmesh/117183-installing-helyxos-32-64bit-linux-distributions.html#post425067 Installing HelyxOS on 32 and 64bit Linux Distributions]

'''Note''': These instructions have been tested on Fedora 17 32bit (i686).

Steps:
<ol>
<li>Install "vtk" + "vtk-java" + "OpenJDK":
<bash>su -c 'yum install vtk vtk-java java-1.7.0-openjdk'</bash>
</li>
<li>Download the binary tarball for HelyxOS from the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/helyx-os/files/ download section]. You can also download the file through the command line, by running:
<bash>wget "http://sourceforge.net/projects/helyx-os/files/20130715-Engys-HelyxOS-1.0.3-linux-x86_64-JRE.tar.bz2/download" \
-O "20130715-Engys-HelyxOS-1.0.3-linux-x86_64-JRE.tar.bz2"</bash>
</li>
<li>Unpack the tarball for HelyxOS where you want to install HelyxOS:
<bash>tar -xjf 20130715-Engys-HelyxOS-1.0.3-linux-x86_64-JRE.tar.bz2</bash>
</li>
<li>Go into the folder {{tt|Engys/HelyxOS}} and remove the {{tt|jre}} folder:
<bash>cd Engys/HelyxOS
rm -rf jre</bash>
</li>
<li>Get a local copy of the OpenJDK installation that Fedora has got:
<bash>mkdir jre
cp -r /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/* jre/</bash>
</li>
<li>Go into the subfolder {{tt|v1.0.3}}:
<bash>cd v1.0.3</bash>
</li>
<li>Edit the file {{tt|bin/launcher.conf}} (e.g. with {{tt|nano}} or {{tt|gedit}}) and search for the following line:
<bash>LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HELYXHOME/ext:$HELYXHOME/../jre/lib/amd64/xawt:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"</bash>
Replace it with this one:
<bash>LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HELYXHOME/ext:$HELYXHOME/../jre/lib/i386:$HELYXHOME/../jre/lib/i386/xawt:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"</bash>
Save and close the file.
</li>
<li>Eliminate the contents of the {{tt|ext}} subfolder:
<bash>rm ext/*</bash>
</li>
<li>Create a symbolic link list to the actual VTK libraries:
<bash>for a in /usr/lib/vtk/lib*.so.5.8.0; do
    b=${a%*.5.8.0}
    ln -s $a ext/${b##*/}
done</bash>
Or if you prefer a single line of code:
<bash>for a in /usr/lib/vtk/lib*.so.5.8.0; do b=${a%*.5.8.0}; ln -s $a ext/${b##*/}; done</bash>
</li>
<li>Remove the {{tt|lib/vtk-5.10.jar}} and replace it with a symbolic link to Fedora's own build:
<bash>rm lib/vtk-5.10.jar
ln -s /usr/lib/vtk/java/vtk.jar lib/vtk-5.10.jar</bash>
</li>
<li>That is it! You are ready to go:
<bash>./helyxOS.sh</bash>
</li>
</ol>
