*** Building on Linux ***
*** Building on Linux with Mono and XBuild ***
This should be the simplest way to install EduNetworkBuilder on Linux. You will need to install git, Mono and XBuild.
On Mint or ubuntu, you can do this by running:
$ sudo apt-get install mono-complete mono-xbuild git
On Centos, you need the epel repository
# yum install epel-release
# yum install mono-complete mono-devel
# yum install git
After this, you should be ready to download and compile. Determine where you want to build your source,
cd to that directory, and run:
$ git clone https://git.solidcharity.com/timy/EduNetworkBuilder
$ cd EduNetworkBuilder
$ xbuild
After this, you should see a lot of build messages. In the end, you should be able to find the executable
at: EduNetworkBuilder/bin/Debug/EduNetworkBuilder.exe Copy this file wherever you want. For example:
$ sudo cp EduNetworkBuilder/bin/Debug/EduNetworkBuilder.exe /usr/local/bin/
And then you can run it by simply typing:
$ EduNetworkBuilder.exe
*** Building on Linux With MonoDevelop ***
EduNetworkBuilder should compile on Linux using MonoDevelop with one small change to the code.
EduNetworkBuilder on Windows uses the Microsoft deployment mechanism, which cannot build on Linux.
