Installation Instructions
==========================================================================
Note that the installation instructions use the bash shell. If you're not
using bash, adjust the commands accordingly.
Install into a clean (new) directory.
Installing on top of previously released builds may cause problems.
Note: These instructions do not tell you how to build SeaMonkey.
For info on building SeaMonkey from the mozilla.org source code, see
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Build_DocumentationInstallation Instructions
-------------------------------
Note: There is no installer available, but just extracting the tar.bz2
to the default directory (usually /usr/local/seamonkey) achieves the
same result as an installer would.
To install SeaMonkey by downloading the tar.bz2 file:
1. Create a directory named "seamonkey" (mkdir seamonkey) and change
to that directory (cd seamonkey).
2. Click the link on the website you're downloading SeaMonkey from to
download the package (seamonkey*.tar.bz2) file into the seamonkey
directory.
3. Change to the seamonkey directory (cd seamonkey) and decompress the
file with the following command:
tar jxvf sea*.tar.bz2
This creates a "seamonkey" directory under your seamonkey directory.
4. Change to the seamonkey directory (cd seamonkey).
5. Run SeaMonkey with the following run script:
./seamonkey
To hook up SeaMonkey complete with icon to the GNOME Panel,
follow these steps:
1. Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu, and then open
the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.
2. Right-click the icon for SeaMonkey on the Panel and enter the
following command:
directory_name./seamonkey
where directory_name is the name of the directory you downloaded
SeaMonkey to. For example, the default directory that SeaMonkey
suggests is /usr/local/seamonkey.
3. Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment if you wish.
4. Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:
directory_name/chrome/icons/default/default.png
where directory_name is the directory where you installed SeaMonkey.
For example, the default directory is
/usr/local/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default.png.
