Room EQ Wizard on Ubuntu

[Deafuser]

Hi, anybody manage to run the REW script file in ubuntu? I set it to run as an executable file, it tries to open with gedit! In terminal I got it starting installer, nothing else happened!
I need to dial in my sub! Can anybody help, please?

Regards

Mike

Not in Ubuntu but Debian should be very similar and REW installer worked fine for me. There is couple of things what installer needs. First in terminal check that some Java version is installed and in search path:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.6) (7u79-2.5.6-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

Make sure that installer is really executable:

$ chmod a+x REW_linux_5_14.sh

And then start it with sudo (with more rights):

$ sudo ./REW_linux_5_14.sh

That should say something like "Starting installer" and open installer in a new window.

I today installed REW 5.1.6 on Ubuntu 16.10 and Java 1.8.0 (which needs to be installed beforehand).

After downloading the REW installer binary I ran:

chmod 777 REW_linux_5_16.sh
sudo ./REW_linux_5_16.sh

Note: The installer is a binary and not a shell script as the ".sh" suggests.

Result: No problems so far.

Basically what m4j4n1 experienced on Debian I can confirm for Ubuntu.

Just to add:

REW will be started by running

roomeqwizard

Enjoy.
