Azureus

[professorbell]

I am quite new to suse, and i wanted to download Azureus. I need to know a source, and how to install what i download in the terminal.(i really don't like using yast) and i am not entirely sure that i have all of the drivers neccesary for Azureus. Help in this matter would be greatly apreciated.

Have you considered using smart it is faster and easier to use then Yast

To insatll via RPM you need to find all the dependencies of the package and install them first.

You can use RPM -R thepackage.rpm to get a list of required dependencies

BTW info, help or man followed by a command gives usage information the command

I used man rpm to get the above

Then you have to set up permission for Azureus in the Firewall. Yast>Security>Firewall.

hi...is it enogh just to open the ports in firewall
also when i close gnome terminal azureus closes as well...is this the way it should be
is there a way to connect *.torrent files with azureus so when i doubleclick them or run them from firefox they open in azureus?

Let's say your azureus files is in /home/user/binary/azureus/azureus

Then just simply do this to create a shortcut to Azureus on your desktop, this will prevent Azureus from closing once you close Gnome-Terminal, Azureus closes because it is run within the terminal once you do ./azureus - So:

cd /home/user/Desktop/
ln -s /home/user/binary/azureus/azureus

Now check on your desktop there's a link to it, else you can simply right-click on your desktop and create a link to that file (all the same).

It really doesn't matter where it is you can keep it there...
