Hello,

I'm a Arch Linux user, how can i install LXFree for Java once that you just have a package for Debian based versions?

Thanks

1) Copy the lxfreeforjava.deb file to the desktop.
2) Open a terminal window and

Code: Select all

cd ~/desktop

3) Use the command:

Code: Select all

 ar -x lxfreeforjava.deb

this will extract three files, debian-binary, data.tar.xz, control.tar.gz
4) Use the command

Code: Select all

 tar -xf data.tar.xz

This will extract the usr folder from the data archive and put it on the desktop.
This is NOT /usr but a folder on the desktop named also named usr.
5) Inside ~/Desktop/usr/share/claudeheintzdesign-lxseries there is the jar file for the application, LXFreeForJava.jar

Code: Select all

mv ~/Desktop/usr/share/claudeheintzdesign-lxseries/LXFreeForJava.jar ~/Desktop/LXFreeForJava.jar

6) That's what you need to run the application, all the rest of the package, you can throw away.
