install.sh Installer now handles i18n of the Desktop folder. Running the installer or uninstaller as root work correctly and does not invalidate the sanity checks. Corrected method used to detect if the installer is already running in a visable terminal. 2011-11-08 18:07:29 +00:00

README The installer will now create a link to the program in /usr/local/bin to allow starting from the command line. If the installer or uninstaller is not running as root, they will now attempt to use both sudo and su to get root access. This means double click install now works on systems that don't have sudo installed or configured. 2012-02-29 17:55:13 +00:00

* Installing Ardour:

On most distributions, you can double-click the file "install.sh".

Alternatively, you can use a Terminal to run the installer.  Navigate
to the folder and run:
	
	./install.sh
	
The installer will ask for your root password (sudo/su), and copy the 
contents of the appropriate bundle (32-bit or 64-bit) to your /opt
folder. 


* Links and Menu entries:

In addition to installing the program, the installer will create:
1) A desktop link to launch the Ardour application
2) A menu entry in Gnome/KDE
3) An uninstall script in the /opt folder.


* Uninstaller:

To uninstall Ardour, run the uninstaller script in the /opt folder.
This will remove the app, desktop links, menu links, and
the uninstaller itself.


* Manual Installation:

If you would prefer to install Ardour in a custom location, then you
may simply unzip the appropriate package (32bit or 64bit) to your
preferred location and run the Ardour application from the "bin"
folder inside.
