bash install-freedata-linux.sh develop

c) to install a specific version (eg v0.15.9-alpha.1) of FreeDATA, run: bash install-freedata-linux.sh v0.15.9-alpha.1

To run the FreeDATA software:

Open a terminal shell and run the following commands:

To view debugging output while running FreeDATA:

Open a terminal shell.

cd ~/freedata

To view the GUI debug output:

tail -f FreeDATA-client.log

To view the server debug output:

tail -f FreeDATA-server.log

The run script looks for the config.ini file at: $HOME/.config/FreeDATA/config.ini

If it isn't found, we place a copy of config.ini.example into that location to give FreeDATA something to start with. Changes to the defaults can be made within the FreeDATA GUI.
