Running on Linux

Prerequisite: Installing on Linux (Ubuntu)

Once the EMM OSINT Suite has been installed on your system, running the application requires you top define a workspace folder on a local disk drive to keep your user data.

Important

The workspace folder needs to be placed on a local disk drive. The application will fail if the workspace is on a network drive.

By default the application places the user data in the default user home directory /home/<user-id>/osint-workspace.

To run the application do the following:

Open a Terminal window
Navigate to the installation location /opt/osint_<version>_linux.x86_64 (for the 64-bit version)

cd /opt/osint_2.2.3_linux.x86_64

Starting the application

env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= ./osint ./osint&

Ubuntu 13.10 Menu Workaround

The latest Ubuntu version does not display the main menu of the application correctly. For this reason the environment variable UBUNTU_MENUPROXY needs to be set as shown above.

Problems starting the application

If the application does not start, make sure that the following files are executable:

/opt/osint_<version-number>_linux_x86_64/osint
/opt/osint_<version-number>_linux_x86_64/jre/bin/java

Under Ubuntu you can set the execute permissions with the following commands:

sudo chmod ugo+x /opt/osint_2.2.0_linux.x86_64/osint 
sudo chmod ugo+x /opt/osint_2.2.0_linux.x86_64/jre/bin/java
