Chameleon on Linux
Chameleon offers the most polished user experience on Windows. However, Chameleon versions starting with 2.10.3 can also run on Linux via Mono.
To install Mono and Chameleon on 32 bit* RHEL or CentOS, please do the following:
- Visit http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/i386/ and download the latest versions of the following RPM packages:
- mono-addon-core
- mono-addon-data
- mono-addon-data-sqlite
- mono-addon-web
- mono-addon-winforms
- mono-addon-libgdiplus0
- Visit http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/noarch/ and download the latest versions of the following RPM packages:
- mono-addon-basic
-
Install each of the downloaded RPMs in the following order by executing "rpm -i rpmName.rpm" as root.
- mono-addon-core
- mono-addon-data
- mono-addon-data-sqlite
- mono-addon-web
- mono-addon-winforms
- mono-addon-basic
- mono-addon-libgdiplus0
- Add the mono executable to your PATH. (Can be accomplished by creating a soft-link in a directory already in your PATH, or by modifying the PATH environment variable directly to contain the mono executable location). By default, the mono executable is at /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono.
- Download and install Chameleon on a Windows computer.
- On the Windows computer, create a zip or tarball of the Chameleon installation on Windows (C:\Program Files\Black Knight Technology\Chameleon, by default).
- Copy the zip or tarball to the desired Linux machine where Mono is installed
- Extract the archive on the Linux machine
- Ensure that all *.dll files have an all-lowercase extension on the Linux machine. Rename as necessary
- On the Linux machine, navigate to the appropriate directory and execute 'mono Chameleon-GUI.exe'
