Installation

1. Download the latest Greenfoot installation jarfile. It will be of the form:

   
   Greenfoot-generic-230.jar
   
   

2. On the distribution server, run the Greenfoot installation jarfile:

   
   [lethe] util% sudo /util/bin/java -jar Greenfoot-generic-230.jar
   
   

3. The GUI will prompt you to select an installation directory. Make it of the form:

   
   /util/greenfoot-2.3.0
   
   

4. Minimally modify the greenfoot Bourne shell script so it will launch appropriately on servers that mount CSE's /util volume at differently-named mount points:

   
   [lethe] ~% cd /util/greenfoot-2.3.0/
   [lethe] greenfoot-2.3.0% sudo vi greenfoot
   
   #!/bin/sh
   
   DOMAIN=`hostname -d`
   
   case "$DOMAIN" in
   'cse.buffalo.edu')
      ROOT="/util"
   ;;
   'eng.buffalo.edu')
      ROOT="/util-cse"
   ;;
   'public.buffalo.edu')
      ROOT="/util-cse"
   ;;
   *)
      ROOT="/UNKNOWN_ROOT"
   ;;
   esac
   
   APPBASE="$ROOT/greenfoot-2.3.0"
   JAVAPATH="$ROOT/java/jdk1.7.0_25"
   CP="$APPBASE/lib/bluej.jar:$JAVAPATH/lib/tools.jar"
   "$JAVAPATH/bin/java" -cp "$CP" bluej.Boot -greenfoot=true -bluej.compiler.showunchecked=false "$@"
   
   

5. Make this installation the new default greenfoot:

   
   [lethe] ~% cd /util
   [lethe] /util% sudo rm greenfoot
   [lethe] /util% sudo ln -s greenfoot-2.3.0 greenfoot
