Generic binaries

Installing for other systems

You should be able to install ROX using the ROX-All package.

If you only want to get the filer, run this (as a user, not as root):

$ 0alias rox http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer

If you don't have the 0alias command, get it from http://0install.net/injector.html (it's a Python script).
You'll be presented with a box asking which version you want.

http://rox.sourceforge.net/screens/0launch-rox.png

Click on the Download button and it will download both parts, unpack them, check the signatures and create a rox script in the first directory in PATH. If you don't have a writable directory in PATH, you can add one like this:

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

Then run the filer with:
$ rox

as normal. To check for updates:

$ rox --versions

Manual installation

Some binaries are on the filer download page.
Note: only Linux-x86 and PPC binaries are currently available. The location of the PPC binaries is given in
http://www.hayber.us/0install/ROX-Filer-Linux-ppc.

Install the rest of the desktop as for Red Hat.

After installing, you might like to read the Getting Started Guide.
