Default For Zero-Privileged Access (Non root)

Follow these instructions:

1.) Download the latest sun java jre to your home directory.

2.) Unpack the sun package (sh +javajrepackagenamehere+.bin)

3.) Unpack the sun java jre tarball (tar -xzvf +javajrepackagenamehere+.tar.gz)

4.) Make note of the newly created java directory (ie ls $HOME/j2re **Replace jre with the actual name of the directory** This is to insure that the path is valid).

5.) Edit your .bash_profile or .bashrc file and point the $JAVA_HOME path to your java directory located in your home directory (ie /home/nonrootuser **Of course, replace "nonrootuser" with the name of the home directory for the account you are making changes).

6.) Add your "$JAVA_HOME/bin" first into your $PATH statement and place "/usr/bin" at the end. You might have to remove "/usr/bin" totally from your $PATH statement if the above suggestion of putting it at the end doesn't work.

7.) Save and then run:

source .bashrc or .bash_profile.

8.) Then you can install LimeWire as usual.
