Install Skype in Debian

October 10, 2015 in software

Install Skype in Linux Debian

Skype is a simply way to make voice or video calls or chat with your friends with IM (instant messages). Go to official site of skype (http://www.skype.com/en/) and click on "Download skype". Select Debian from the dropdown menu of distribution selection. Save the file in your Downloads directory. the file should be something like skype-debian_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb where the "4.3.0.37-1_i386″ is the version of skype.

before we proceed with the installation if you are running a 64bit Debian we need to add 32bit compatibility in case that you dont have already.
open a terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

sudo apt-get update

Now move to Downloads and try to install the downloaded skype package:

cd ~/Downloads/

sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

At that point most likely the installation will fail due to some missing dependancies. to fix that issue the following command:

sudo apt-get -f install

Once that is finished then type again

sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

Now that all dependancies are there the installation will be able to finish normally.
In order to start skype either type in terminal "skype" or by clicking the skype icon in menu.

install Java in Ubuntu

October 20, 2013 in software

Install Java for firefox in Ubuntu

java_logoLets begin with verifying if Java is already installed in your computer.

Visit the official Java site www.java.com/en/ and click on Do I Have Java?

If you don’t have please keep reading.

Lets download Java:

Go back to the official website www.java.com/en/ and click on Free Java Download.

Now download the package fitting on your version of Linux (32 or 64 bit)

If you are not sure what kind of version you are running open a terminal and type:

uname -m

If the output is i686 it means that you are running on 32bit O.S. If you get x86_64 then you are running on a 64bit O.S.

Now that you have the correct package you need to extract the content into /usr/java. But first you need to create the folder. For that you will need root access

sudo mkdir -p /usr/java

Then move the java package into that folder

sudo mv ~/Downloads/jre-7u45-linux-i586.tar.gz /usr/java

Note. You need to change jre-7u45-linux-i586.tar.gz with the name of the package you download before

Now lets extract the package

cd /usr/java/

sudo tar xvf jre-7u45-linux-i586.tar.gz

Create a folder for firefox plugins

cd ~/.mozilla

mkdir plugins

At the end you need to create a symbolic link for the firefox plugins

for 32bit:

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.7.0_45/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

or for 64bit

ln -s /opt/java/jre1.7.0_45/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Note. You need to change jre1.7.0_45 with the directory name you create when you extract the package.

Restart Firefox and check again if java is working like you did on the beginning of this article.

A video tutorial is coming soon.

How to install Drupal 7 on ubuntu Part 1

This is a full article on how to install Drupal on Ubuntu, that means you can use this guide even if you have a clean installation of Ubuntu, and I will try to keep it as simple as I can.

What you will need in order to install Drupal.

First of all you will need a LAMP Server(more information can be found here).

1. You have to install a Linux system(you can choose whatever you want.

3. You will need MySQL (more information can be found here)

4. You will need PhP (more information can be found here)
