Firstly, I only took 9 days to get approved by Woopra, some posts on the forums say that may take weeks.
Installing Woopra on Linux is simple and it is a graphical process. Look at the screenshot below.
You can download the installer here and install it with sh woopra.sh. I installed it at my home pathes: /home/username/lib/Woopra for Woopra program, and /home/username/bin for symbolic link.
When I tried to run it, I got an error:
My JRE is from Sun and it's 64 Bit, you can check yours by running java -version, which outputs like:
Second one is easy, too, and better. Install ia32-sun-java6-bin package, first. Then test with this newly install 32 bit JRE with
Once Woopra runs successfully and with no error, close it. Find the startup script, if you don't know where it is, you can run whereis Woopra or type Woopra (in Bash). If none of both get result, use find / -name Woopra.
Find it, and open it with editor, and put the following line at second line (an empty line):

My JRE is from Sun and it's 64 Bit, you can check yours by running java -version, which outputs like:
java version "1.6.0_06"The solutions are two, both are easy. First one is to remove sun-java6-bin package and install ia32-sun-java6-bin package.
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)
Second one is easy, too, and better. Install ia32-sun-java6-bin package, first. Then test with this newly install 32 bit JRE with
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre WoopraThis forces the startup script, /home/username/bin/Woopra in my case, to use specified Java JRE not the one that it can find on your system.
Once Woopra runs successfully and with no error, close it. Find the startup script, if you don't know where it is, you can run whereis Woopra or type Woopra (in Bash). If none of both get result, use find / -name Woopra.
Find it, and open it with editor, and put the following line at second line (an empty line):
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jreNow, simply run Woopra in terminal or from main menu.

Great instructions, thanks a lot, got it working!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help.
ReplyDeleteSpecial note to Fedora users who wants to keep 64bit openjdk: After install openjdk i386, the line to install is
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre
OK this make woopra work but i have other problem. Woopra wont conect to server. Is there solution for that?
ReplyDelete@Nedodjija I can connect to the server on Fedora right now. Sometimes, but rarely, I couldn't connect. If that is server problem, then there is nothing you can do.
ReplyDeletevery helpfull, thanks
