you can use wget to download the rpm bundle.

then run

rpm -Uvh --test “the name of the rpm”

if this gives no errors, run the same command again without the --test

you will find the bundle installed under /opt/ in directory wildfire

so wget http://www.jivesoftware.org/downloadServlet?filename=wildfire/wildfire_3_1_1.rpm

Hi,

if you don’‘t like rpm or don’'t have root access you may use the tar.gz version as described in http://wiki.jivesoftware.org/display/WILDFIRE/LinuxInstallationGuide

ubuntu doesnt use rpm… it uses the apt-get. if you would need to download something from wildfire and need root permission to download and install on Ubuntu server an example command would be:

sudo wget http://packagedownloadlocation - to download the package

sudo apt-get install package - this would install your new package as the root user.

Also on a Ubuntu machine you can change the root password and logout and then login as root user. This keeps you from having to type the sudo everytime you want to execute something with root user permissions.

type this command:

java -version

and tell us what it says

Yes, Wildfire “works on console”. It doesnt need GUI that is.

On my debian system, once I made sure I had java working, i did this to install wildfire in my home directory:

morocco:~$ mkdir wildfire_base

morocco:~$ cd wildfire_base

morocco:~$ wget -O wildfire_3.1.1.tar.gz http://www.jivesoftware.org//downloadServlet?filename=wildfire/wildfire_3_1_1.ta r.gz

morocco:~$ tar xfz wildfire_3.1.1.tar.gz

morocco:~$ cd wildfire

morocco:~$ nano conf/wildfire.xml

see http://www.jivesoftware.org/builds/wildfire/docs/latest/documentation/install-gu ide.html for details on what needs done from here…

and finally…

morocco:~$ ~/wildfire_base/wildfire/bin/wildfire start

HTH,
