Installing Apps

A useful Youtube how-to video for installing applications: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMgFnog3Qcw

Step by step instructions (as per the video):

• Telnet (or SSH) in to your Joggler
• Change directory to /media/appshop
• Backup applications.xml to applications.xml.backup
• Make a new directory for the application's ID (eg. /appshop/430) - See OpenPeak_Apps_list for ID
• Change to this new directory
• Download the new application (.tgz file)
• Unpack the new application
• Delete the downloaded .tgz file
• Change directory to /media/appshop
• Edit applications.xml to include new application
• Reboot your Joggler

The commands you type should look like the following (this example installs Roomservice, App ID 430):

$ cd media/appshop
$ cp applications.xml applications.xml.backup
$ mkdir ./430
$ cd 430
$ wget http://joggler.info/apps/roomservice.tgz
$ tar xvf roomservice.tgz
$ rm roomservice.tgz
$ cd ..
$ vi applications.xml

Add the line: <app id="430" title="Roomservice" loc="/media/appshop/430/" icon="icon.swf" app="main.swf"/>

Then press Escape, and type these final two commands.

$ :wq
$ reboot
