Installation</H2>
<P class="western">Three different installation packages are available
for TurboPrint 2 – choose the one that is best suitable for your Linux
system.</P>
<P class="western">Different Linux distributions have different types of
installation packages. E.g. SuSE-Linux, Mandriva and Fedora / RedHat
Linux use the<B> RPM package format</B>, Ubuntu and Debian Linux use
the<B> DEB package format</B>. If your Linux uses one of these package
formats, download and install the appropriate TurboPrint package.</P>
<P class="western">As an alternative there is the<B> TGZ archive</B>
that can be installed on all current Linux systems.</P>
<P class="western">With the DEB and RPM packages a standard installation
is performed. When you start TurboPrint for the first time you can
adjust the installation according to your requirements. An advantage of
these installation packages is that the Linux package management system
can automatically add further system components that might be required.</P>
<P class="western">The TGZ archive can be installed on all Linux
systems. The included setup program has a graphical user interface,
offers additional installation options and displays a detailed
installation protocol.</P>
<P class="western">In the following sections the installation procedure
for the three different package types is described – follow the
instructions for your package format.</P>
<P class="western">If you want to update an existing TurboPrint
installation also proceed as described in this chapter - your printer
settings will be retained.</P>
<H3 class="western"><A name="__RefHeading___Toc15439_1469257139"></A>
4.1.1 Installation of RPM package or DEB package</H3>
<P class="western">In most Linux distributions an RPM or DEB package can
be installed by a simple mouse click on the package file. The package
manager should come up and lead through package installation. If this
doesn't work, you can also start the package manager of your Linux
system and choose the TurboPrint RPM or DEB package from there.</P>
<P class="western">
<!--span lang="en-US"-->
After successful installation a printer driver should be set up in
TurboPrint and optionally also a license keyfile can be installed. For
these tasks please open the TurboPrint control center by clicking on
the "TurboPrint Control" icon or by entering "<KBD>
<!--span lang="en-US"-->
turboprint</KBD>
<!--span lang="en-US"-->
" in a terminal window.</P>
<P class="western">Continue reading with the section after next for a
detailed description.</P>

4.1.2 Installation of TGZ archive</H3>
<P class="western">First the TurboPrint archive must be extracted - on
most Linux distributions this can be done by clicking on the archive
with the right mouse button and choosing "extract here". As an
alternative, click on the archive with the left mouse button to start
the archive manager. From there extract the archive.</P>
<P class="western">By extracting the archive a directory named
"turboprint-2..." will be created which contains all TurboPrint
installation files.</P>
<P class="western">Open this directory and double click on the file
named "setup" (if a dialog comes up that contains the option "execute",
choose this option).</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm; margin-bottom: 0cm"><B>
Note</B>: If your Linux system doesn't have a graphical user interface,
you can install TurboPrint from command line. The following command
extracts the TurboPrint archive:</P>
<PRE class="western" style="margin-left: 2.5cm">tar -xzf turboprint-2.xx.tgz</PRE>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm"> ("xx" must be replaced
by the actual version number).</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm; margin-bottom: 0cm">Then
enter the command</P>
<PRE class="western" style="margin-left: 2.5cm">cd turboprint-2.xx</PRE>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm; margin-bottom: 0cm"> to
change into the installation directory and enter</P>
<PRE class="western" style="margin-left: 2.5cm">./setup</PRE>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm"> to start installation.
Some of the installation options that are described in the following
paragraphs are also offered during command line installation.</P>
<P class="western">
</P>
<P class="western">Now the TurboPrint installation dialog window should
appear.</P>
<P class="western">All further installation is performed in this dialog.
The "Setup mode" should be set to "Install" - the option "Uninstall"
can be used to remove TurboPrint from your system.</P>
<P class="western">Click on "Continue" to continue with the next
installation step.</P>
<P class="western">If you already have a license keyfile, you can choose
it here, in order to install TurboPrint as full version. Press "Select
Keyfile..." - a file selection dialog will open where you can select
your license key file.</P>

<BR clear="left">
<P class="western">In the next installation step some basic settings can
be adjusted:</P>
<P ALIGN="CENTER" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><IMG align="left" height="195" hspace="19" name="Grafik36" src="preferences.png"
vspace="4" width="356"></P>
<BR clear="left">
<P class="western"><B>Units</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western">Choose either „inch“
for imperial units or „cm“ for metric units.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-anfang-western"><B>Start TurboPrint daemon
when booting</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western">This option should be
selected in order that TurboPrint status monitor can display the
printer's status and ink levels (TurboPrint daemon is a background
process which enables the status monitor to access the printer ports).</P>
<P class="nummerierung-2-anfang-western"><B>WEB Browser for online help
system</B></P>
<P class="nummerierung-2-fortsetzung-western">If the default<B> web
browser</B> "Firefox" is not available on your Linux system, you can
also choose a different browser. Either select a name from the drop
down list or enter the command line name of the browser of your choice.</P>
<P class="nummerierung-2-fortsetzung-western"><B>Note</B>: To test if
the name is correct, you can also enter it in a terminal window. If the
web browser window does not open, the name is incorrect and
TurboPrint's online help system will not function.</P>
<P class="western">Click "<B>Continue"</B>.</P>
<P class="western">The following installation step offers "<B>Advanced
settings"</B>. These are for expert users and should not have to be
changed.</P>
<P class="western">After that the license terms will be displayed – read
them thoroughly, confirm by checking "Accept license terms" and press
"OK" to start installation.</P>
<P class="western">Setting up the printer in Linux requires
administration privileges, so you will be asked for your administrator
password.</P>
<P ALIGN="CENTER" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><IMG align="left" height="125" hspace="19" name="Grafik58" src="authorize.png"
vspace="4" width="259"></P>
<BR clear="left">
<P align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Authorization</P>
<P align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P class="western">Depending on the Linux distribution this is either
your user password (you must be a user with administrative rights) or
the "root" password. Now the actual installation is performed and an
installation protocol is shown.</P>
<P ALIGN="CENTER" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><IMG align="left" height="269" hspace="19" name="Grafik9" src="installer2.png"
vspace="4" width="367"></P>
<BR clear="left">
<P align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Setup - window
"installation protocol"</P>
<P align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P class="western">
In the protocol please read the sections "checking shared libraries" and
"checking filter programs for file conversion". In these sections it is
listed which program packages were found on your computer. If some
packages are marked with "not found (required)", you must add them with
the package manager of your Linux distribution to get TurboPrint
function properly. Packages marked with "not found (option)" are only
necessary if you actually want to print files of this type.
</P>
<P class="western">Finally finish the installation with "OK".</P>
