Installing Sysquake

Windows

Open Install_SQ.exe and follow the explanations.

macOS

Copy the whole folder "Sysquake" to the Application folder.

Linux

Sysquake is provided as a DEB package for Debian-based Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint; and as a tar archive for other versions of Linux or if you prefer to install software manually. The tar archive is the only way to select where to install Sysquake files; hence you should also choose it if you do not have administrator rights.

DEB package

This is the recommended method for Ubuntu, Debian and Linux Mint.

If you double-click the file icon, the package should be opened by the default package management utility for your system. You can then read its description and install it.

Alternatively, in a terminal window, you can type the following command (replace the star and specify the exact filename if you have several versions):

sudo dpkg -i sysquake-*.deb

Should you want to remove Sysquake (we hope not!), you can type the following command:

sudo dpkg -r sysquake

Tar archive

The tar archive contains the same files as the DEB package, as well as install scripts which can be used to create or remove the symbolic links which make the use of Sysquake easier.

To expand the archive, you can type the following command in a terminal window:

tar xfz sysquake-*.tgz

The result is a directory sysquake with the following contents:

opt
Most of the Sysquake files in a directory sysquake, which should typically be copied to /opt. If /opt does not exist on your system, you can create it. If you prefer, you can choose another location, such as /local, or your home directory if you are not administrator.
usr
Auxiliary files to integrate Sysquake in the Linux desktop, and man file (basic information to start Sysquake from the terminal). The files should be copied to the corresponding locations in /usr, assuming you have administrator rights.
install-scripts
Two scripts which can be used to create (post-install) and remove (pre-uninstall) symbolic links in /usr/bin. Note that post-install assumes that the Sysquake binary files are located in /opt/sysquake/bin; if you copy Sysquake to another location, you should adjust the links accordingly. Alternatively, you can add the binary location to the environment variable PATH.

Sysquake must be able to know where it is located, so that it can find its support files. It will try succesively these methods until it succeeds:

Sysquake uses two other environment variables. DISPLAY contains the X server display (typically :0.0 for the local monitor, keyboard and mouse); it can be overidden with the --display display pair of arguments. X11BROWSER (or BROWSER) contains the application to be launched as a Web browser.

License

Sysquake is licensed exclusively to users who have acquired it through a mean authorized by Calerga (rightful download from Calerga web site) and accept the limited warranty terms below.

Limited Warranty

Should Sysquake have significant features which are advertised by Calerga and either are missing or have serious defects and cannot be used satisfactorily, Sysquake will be either replaced with a corrected version or refunded if a clear and reproducible description of the problem is sent to Calerga no more than two (2) months after the purchase, whatever Calerga decides. Subjective assessments (such as quality, power, speed, or compatibility) are not considered as features. Problems caused by the computer, its operating system or any third-party software are excluded.

The user assumes all the risks caused by the use of Sysquake and the results obtained with Sysquake. Under no circumstance will Calerga or Sysquake resellers be responsible for any loss of money, time, data, goods, or lives.

Documentation

The documentation is provided as HTML files. For reading it, select "Sysquake User Manual" in the Help menu in Sysquake, or open the file index.htm in folder Doc with any modern web browser (on Macintosh, this file is inside the Sysquake application package; you can Control-click its icon and select Open Package to open and browse it, or just open the application "Open Sysquake Documentation"). Read the introduction (follow the links from the entry page) and try manipulating the graphics! Depending on the package you have acquired, a printed version of Sysquake User Manual is included; please contact Calerga for additional copies.

Sysquake Pro

In addition to the features of Sysquake, Sysquake Pro supports extensions (provided by Calerga, such as audio input/output, TCP/IP and databases, or written in C by you), and remote procedure calls. It is distributed with Sysquake Application Builder, which creates stand-alone royalty-free applications.
