Freeride "Installing" docs don't say how

ruby-talk
1

In the "Installing" section of neither the online documentation:

   http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UserDoc

nor

   freeride-0.7.0/doc/userhelp.html

indicate how to actually install freeride.

The online docs are very detailed in how to install the
"3 external software components", but for freeride itself, nada.

That aside, how do you install freeride-0.7.0 in linux?

Thanks.

There's nothing else to install, just run "run.bat", as the docs say under "Running FreeRIDE".

(That doesn't help if you want to set it up so all users can run it, though.)

Yes, I wanted to install it for all users.

After posting, I ran across some notes, in the wrong place, I took during
a previous install. For anyone who cares, here they are:

mv freeride-0.7.0.tar.gz /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
untar freeride-0.7.0.tgz

which gives you the dir
    /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/freeride-0.7.0

remove the old 'freeride' dir

mv freeride-0.7.0 freeride
