FrontlineSMS installation on a Mac requires a few manual steps.
1. Unzip the 'frontlinesms_macintosh.zip' file you downloaded
2. Copy these files from there into your "[HD] Library/Java/Extensions" folder:
RXTXComm.jar
librxtxSerial.jnilib
libsqlitejdbc.jnilib
sqlitejdbc-mac.jar
3. Open 'Terminal' (in Finder, go to your "Applications -> Utilities" menu)
4. Type in the following two commands (and enter your password if requested):
sudo mkdir /var/lock
sudo chmod 777 /var/lock
5. Double click "FrontlineSMS.jar" in the downloaded ZIP file to start!
Windows installation will be handled automatically by an installer.
The installer offers options to add FrontlineSMS shortcuts to the desktop and Start Menu.
FrontlineSMS can then be started by double-clicking on the shortcut, or via the Start Menu.
1. Make sure you have Java version 5 (or newer) installed
2. Unzip the 'frontlinesms_linux.tar.gz' file you downloaded (e.g. using "gunzip ...")
3. Untar 'frontlinesms_linux.tar.gz' (e.g. using "tar -xvf ...")
4. Copy the following files to your "JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext" folder:
RXTXComm.jar
sqlitejdbc-v039-native.jar
5. Copy the following files to your "JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386" folder:
librxtxSerial.so
libsqlitejdbc.so
6. Once all these files are present, run with "java -jar FrontlineSMS.jar"
TIP : JAVA_HOME is the location of your Java install (e.g. on our Ubuntu machine this is "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03". You may have more than one Java set up, in which case run the 'java -version' command to find out which runs by default
