<h1>Installing under Linux - V2</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> <b>NOTE:</b> This only applies to our old V2 application. The latest V3 application (which also talks to V1 and V2 ECUs) installs and runs natively under Linux already. </p> <p> DSMLink is written in Java. Java is cross platform. So DSMLink should be as well. And it is, mostly. Here are the steps one user used to get DSMLink up and running under Linux. Please keep in mind that this is not something we at ECMTuning support. We're not going to be able to help much getting this up and going if you have problems. It's being provided here for reference and archival purposes. If the original author would step forward and claim this, I'll *gladly* include your name as key contributor. I don't want anyone thinking I did this writeup. I did not. I'm merely copying the text here for reference. </p> </div> <h1>Details</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> <b>Step 1:</b> Install Blackdown's JDK libraries. </p> <pre class="code">sudo apt-get install j2sdk1.4 </pre><p> </p> <p> Note: It seems that there is a open source free version of the JDK available.
