Anne Lyle (
www.annelyle.com) has kindly prepared the following
instructions for how to run SuperNotecard on Linux. Here are a few of
her initial comments:
"I'm happy to say that it was very simple to get SuperNotecard running
on Linux - attached is a screenshot I took on my Debian box. As you
can see, I have dragged one of the cards out of sequence, just to
check that dragging and dropping was working.
The only problem I've seen so far is that the splash screen persists
over the top of the other windows, so you have to move the startup
dialog box from behind the splash screen. However I haven't registered
the program on the Linux box yet or tried opening a project of my own,
so I don't know if this is a long-term issue..."

Instructions for running SuperNotecard in Linux:
1. Download the latest Java Runtime Environment from Sun:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#lin
2. Install the JRE as per instructions on Sun's website
3. If you don't have root privileges on the Linux box, you can install
it locally, then symlink to the binary to make things easier:
ln -s downloads/software/jre1.6.0_03/bin/java java
4. Download the SuperNotecard .jar file from Mindola:
http://www.mindola.com/download/SncO.jar
5. Try out the program from the command-line. Type the following,
substituting the location of your download:
java -jar /downloads/software/Snc0.jar
or, for a local install of JRE,
./java -jar /downloads/software/Snc0.jar
SuperNotecard should start up and run. Once you're happy that it's
working, you can create an icon in KDE or Gnome, pasting the above
command into the shortcut dialog box.
