Installing Linux YM client with webcam support

Finally we have come to the last part of this series (installing gyachE).

Before you read on, be sure that you have followed the instructions on my two previous posts ( 1 and 2).

If you did, then we are ready.

1. Open the Linux Terminal

2. Login as root by typing
$ sudo -s
then provide the password when asked

3. go to / directory by typing
# cd /

4. list the two gyachE files we have placed there
# ls

5. You should see these two files:

gyach-enhanced_pyvoice-binary-1.0.7-i586.tar.bz2
gyachE-Webcam-Utilities-0.4-i586.tar.bz2

6. Lets install the main program. Type :

# tar xjf gyach-enhanced_pyvoice-binary-1.0.7-i586.tar.bz2

This would automatically put all the files needed by gyachE in their respective directories.

7. Install the webcam plugin. Type:

# tar xjf gyachE-Webcam-Utilities-0.4-i586.tar.bz2


Run gyachE:
# gyach

If you encounter any dependency problems just follow the 10-12-2005 post then try to run gyachE again.

On a later post we will talk about the tar command.
