Pre-requisites

Software Requirements

• XULRunner v.24 installed

Installing XULRunner

The CData 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

For all supported UNIX systems except OpenSUSE 13.1, XULRunner is not included in system packages. For these systems, XULRunner can be downloaded and installed using the link provided in GUI with the instructions to be followed.

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 CData Virtuality Studio Manually

The following steps will allow you to run the CData 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 CData 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 CData Virtuality Studio: open dvstudio/dvstudio.ini in a text editor and set the path to XULRunner as follows:

   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 CData Virtuality Studio.
