MIST/C Linux (BETA) Software Installation

Installing MISTC 5.2.4  on Linux SYSTEMS

1. Download the MISTC050204LP.zip file to your system.

3. As root, move the folder to /usr/local/ (sudo mv MISTC /usr/local)

The Linux client now uses the ALSA sound architecture. 
Most modern Linux distributions will already include ALSA. However, if
you your system does not, please try:

For Red Hat based distributions like Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:
yum install alsa-driver alsa-lib alsa-util

For Ubuntu/Debian:
apt-get install alsa

These commands may very slightly depending on your distribution and version.

You can add MISTC to your path so that it can be run from anywhere by adding
the following line to /home//.bash_profile:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MISTC

To connect to a live class from Moodle in your web browser,
choose to open the .nwm file that is passed to the browser using
/usr/local/MISTC/MISTC

The Linux package is still under development. Updated package and 
instructions will be posted later.

To play a recording, save the recording file in the 
Documents/MISTCDATA/RECORDINGS/OFFLINE directory. Then run

Click on PLAY and use the Play Control to select and play the file.
