Installing on a Ubuntu box

I have JRE 7+ installed on my box through the Ubuntu Software Center. I downloaded the executable no-JRE package of Commandbox.

/usr/bin/commandbox/box

-rwx–x--x 1 root root 35445806 Sep 24 17:33 box

byron@ByronToshiba:/usr/bin/commandbox$ box
No command ‘box’ found, did you mean:
Command ‘fox’ from package ‘objcryst-fox’ (universe)
Command ‘bos’ from package ‘openafs-client’ (universe)
Command ‘sox’ from package ‘sox’ (universe)
Command ‘rox’ from package ‘rox-filer’ (universe)
Command ‘vbox’ from package ‘isdnvboxclient’ (universe)
Command ‘eox’ from package ‘keyboards-rg’ (universe)
Command ‘wbox’ from package ‘wbox’ (universe)
Command ‘rbox’ from package ‘qhull-bin’ (universe)
Command ‘tox’ from package ‘python-tox’ (universe)
Command ‘bbox’ from package ‘ps2eps’ (main)
Command ‘bob’ from package ‘python-sponge’ (universe)
Command ‘boa’ from package ‘boa’ (universe)
box: command not found

what step am I missing?

What package did you download? Debian? Binary?

Binary

Firstly, make sure are unzipping the download like so:

$> wget http://www.ortussolutions.com/parent/download/commandbox/type/bin -O box.zip

$> unzip box.zip

$> mv box /usr/sbin/box

$> box

Secondly, if you don’t move it to /user/sbin like I showed, you can’t call it as just “box” but instead would need to type “./box” from the directory it is in.

Note, we also have a debian package and an RPM to make this easier.

That was the direction I needed. I’m a fairly new Linux user. Spent my life on Windows, and then migrated to Mac OS X.

Thank you

Glad it’s working for you. Just remember, if they made Linux as easy as Windows, then everyone would use it :slight_smile:

Thanks!
