FrostWire Installation

For : Mepis Linux

By : je.saist


Part 1 - Obtain  |  Part 2 - Kpackage  |  Part 3 - Configure

Again, referring to Part 1, there is/was a slight problem. The FrostWire .deb package does not appear to set a Kmenu entry. Forcing the menus to update did nothing either.  The Frostwire in /usr/bin opens up a text file. So, yes. The command prompt. Sorry folks... Hopefully we'll get a working solution to this later.


21: Go ahead and open up Terminal Program (Konsole)





23: Alright, here we are at the terminal.





24: Type in the command sh frostwire then hit enter on the keyboard.





25: FrostWire should now begin to open.





26: The First part of FrostWire's configuration is asking for language.

Left Click on Next>> when ready.





27: Next up is a Generic Filler Screen

Left Click on Next>> when ready.





28: Sharing the /Shared folder is a good idea. Not going to change this.

Left Click on Next>> when ready with your share folder.





29: Choose your average connection speed.

Left Click on Next>> when your speed is set.





30: FrostWire will now ask to scan the Hard Drive.





31: Since I don't actually intend on using this program, I'm going to hit No.

Left Click on Next>> when you have decided to scan, or not to scan.





32: Left Click on Finish





33: Wait for FrostWire to load.





34: Done.





35: Installed FrostWire on another system and committed a reboot. As shown below, a FrostWire entry is now in the KMenu.  Can't say I'm fond of Windows Style Reboots though.




Missed something on obtaining FrostWire in Part 1?

Missed an entry in the KPackage Installation over in Part 2?


Take me back to the Guides.
