    Installing BotHunter in SuSE

    Hello,

    I am a Linux newbie, so if this question is dumb, sorry. I am trying to install BotHunter a program that finds botnets. One of the preinstall criteria was to install Java, which I did. The next step is to install BotHunter. The directions tell me that I need to type the command:

    root% /<Sun_JRE_path>/java -jar botHunterInstall.jar

    I am assuming that the reason that they do not tell you the path is that its different between distros. I have no idea on what this path is. I have tried these paths and none seem to work:

    /usr/java -jar botHunterInstall.jar
    /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_16 -jar botHunterInstall.jar

    What do I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help...

    Pretty sure Ubuntu installs java or "jre" to /opt. Try:
    Code:
    sudo /opt/<jre_version>/bin/java -jar botHunterInstall.jar
    If you don't remember the version of jre you installed, do:
    Code:
    cd /opt
    Code:
    ls

    Oupes sorry.... so many posts it gets confusing sometime. I haven't used SuSE in a long time.

    If it's not in /opt, it's likely in /usr. Once you find where it is, do the path, to jre, followed by /bin/java -jar botHunterInstall.jar as root or 'su.'
