System information:
Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits. 4Gb RAM. AMD Athlon II p320 Dual-Core Processor x2
Hello,
I can't run Cmap Tools v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04. I already installed the program using the included wizard (it actually recognized the previous version), but now it doesn't run. There is a "Link to program" (sorry for the crude translation, my Ubuntu is in Spanish) and when I double click it, or drag and drop into the terminal, it opens the file in gedit.
I already changed de permissions in order to allow the file to run as a program, but the result is the same: gedit.
I hope someone can help me.
Thank You in advance.

Re: Can't Run Cmap v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04
Yes. CmapTools v6.00 can be installed on Ubuntu 14.04. I do not know what kind of user is using and whether the file owner is their own. Then, follow these steps:
Download the latest version of CmapTools (http://cmap.ihmc.us/) according to your operating system:
LinuxCmapTools_v6.00.1 _01-04-15.bin for 32- bit Ubuntu
Linux64CmapTools_v6.00.1 _01-04-15.bin for 64- bit Ubuntu
Change to executable the attribute of the installer file:
chmod + x LinuxCmapTools_v6.00 _01-04-15. (or Linux64CmapTools_v6.00_01-04-15.bin, as appropriate)
Run the installer from the root (administrator):
sudo ./ LinuxCmapTools_v6.00_01-04-15.bin -i GUI (or Linux64CmapTools_v6.00_01-04-15.bin, as appropriate)
This should solve your problem.

I'm using it at home on 14.04 and my students use it in school on 12.04. Working fine. If you can't get it working post back.

Re: Can't Run Cmap v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04
Is it REQUIRED to run installer as root?
I already have my Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_76-b13) installed system wide and some important software depends on it. I don't really want to get my system Java overwritten neither by Java 6 nor by other Java 7 build.
Disk space wise, t's not that brilliant an idea to have a separate Java runtime for each and every application in my home directory, but I can live with it, as soon as it won't clobber other applications.
BTW as Java 7 is pretty stable as of now, it seems to be wise to have an installer (or a separate version of installer for the brave men) which depends on system-wide Java 7 (say, on build of no earlier than 1.7.0_45) and does not contain it's own JRE inside (which makes the whole installer incredibly bulky).
Thanks for the valuable product, I'm just starting exploration of it.

Re: Can't Run Cmap v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04
Hi.
Even though Java is somewhat stable now, our experience has been that changing environments (version of Java, libraries, etc) make the program become unstable with time. E.g. some users are running Java 8 but the installer we use doesn't work well yet with Java 8. New versions of Java often have GUI changes that break the program. So having a tested version included with the program makes a huge difference.

Re: Can't Run Cmap v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04
Ok,
I tried what marroyo said:
Now, I would like to be able to use the program without having the terminal running, because if I close it the process dies and Cmap closes.
Do you know any way I can do that?
Thank you very much and sorry for the delay, I was away for a few days.

Re: Can't Run Cmap v6.00 on Ubuntu 14.04
Hi,
I'm having the same problem: I seemed to have successfully installed, but when I click the link it runs gedit. I also had significant problems because the program installed as root initially, and was therefore unfindable as a user.
It seems like the linux/ubuntu install could be set up a bit more straightforwardly...
