Installing XULRunner

The Data Virtuality Studio requires XULRunner v.24. If you have a XULRunner pre-installed, please check its version and update it to v.24 if needed.

Installing XULRunner Manually

Installing XULRunner on OpenSUSE 13.1

--on 32bit architecture
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/24.0/runtimes/xulrunner-24.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvjf xulrunner-24.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
 
--on 64bit architecture
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/24.0/runtimes/xulrunner-24.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvjf xulrunner-24.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C /opt/

Installing the Data Virtuality Studio Manually

The following steps will allow you to run Data Virtuality Studio from a Linux machine. Please check the table of supported architectures and operating systems to see whether any additional steps are required or if your operating system is not supported. 

1. Get the Data Virtuality Studio zip file according to your Linux architecture. The command 'uname -m' will show the architecture of the running system.

   Platform	File
   x86, i386, i586, i686....	admin_gui-linux.gtk.x86.zip
   x64, amd64 or x86_64	admin_gui-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip

    

2. Unzip the folder to a location of your choice. We recommend using the path /opt/datavirtuality, and here are the commands you can use:

   BASH

   --Create the directory, if not already existent:
   mkdir /opt/datavirtuality
    
   --Unpack the folder to /opt/datavirtuality/dvstudio
   unzip %pathToZipFile%/admin_gui-linux.gtk.x86.zip -d /opt/datavirtuality/dvsutdio
    
   --or
   unzip %pathToZipFile%/admin_gui-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip -d /opt/datavirtuality/dvsutdio

3. Edit the config file for the Data Virtuality Studio: open dvstudio/dvstudio.ini in a text editor and set the path to XULRunner:

   CODE

   ...
   -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla 
   -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=<PATH to XUL>

4. Now you can execute dvstudio/dv_studio and run the Data Virtuality Studio.

DEB package is available since v2.4.11
