HOWTO - Azureus BitTorrent Client on Fedora Core 3

First you will need to download the two latest versions of Java and Azureus.
At the time of this HOWTO I found links to both downloads from the following link.
[/url]http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php
To go directly to the Java download use this link.
http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9987
(Latest version at time of HOWTO - jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586)
To go directly to the Azureus download use this link.
[url=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus...ar.bz2?download]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus...ar.bz2?download
(Latest Azureus version at time of HOWTO - Azureus_2.2.0.3_linux.GTK)
Once you have both downloaded
- Go to a terminal and Type: su
- Enter your root password.
- Copy the file to the directory in which you want to install. Type: cp jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin /usr/local
- Change to the directory in which you want to install. Type: cd /usr/local
- Give the file execute permissions Type: chmod a+x jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
- Start the installation process. Type: ./jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
- Enter yes to proceed with the installation after reading license agreement.
- The installation file creates jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm file in the current directory.
- Type: rpm -iv jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm
- The Java installation is now complete.
- Change to the directory in which you saved the Azureus download
- bunzip2 Azureus_2.2.0.2_linux.GTK.tar.bz2
- tar xvf Azureus_2.2.0.2_linux.GTK.tar
- mv azureus ~/
- The Azureus installation is now complete. The start Azureus just run ./azureus from the ~/azureus directory.
I wrote this HOWTO as I was installing Azureus tonight. I hope that it is not too confusing.
Thanks,
