This page describes how to get started with snapper.
The easiest way to start Snapper is by using the thin
client snaprun it can be run from the command line
or added to a launcher applet. When run from the
command line a URL can be specified to run.
After Snapper has been installed either via Perl or RPM
you can simply type the following (assumes internet
connection):
[bill@shark contrib]$ snaprun http://www.landsharklinux.com/pizza.xml
|
This will display the pizza application,
change pizza.xml to robo.xml for the robo app.
|
[bill@shark contrib]$ snaprun http://www.landsharklinux.com/robo.xml
|
If you do not have internet access the samples are
installed in the /usr/share/snapper directory.
please note that the /usr prefix may be different
if your perl installation is some where else, i.e.
/usr/local. The apps can be loaded as follows:
[bill@shark contrib]$ snaprun file://usr/share/snapper/pizza.xml
|
[bill@shark contrib]$ snaprun file://usr/share/snapper/robo.xml
|
After Snapper has been installed either via Perl or RPM
you can simply type "snaprun" from the command
line or add it to the Gnome toolbar using the
"Add to Panel/Launcher...".
Now start snaprun. The default URL displayed in the snaprun URL entry widget is "http://www.landsharklinux.com/pizza.xml", if you are connected to the internet, simply click "OK". If
you are not connected, select one of the "file:"
URIs.
After clicking "OK" the pizza application
will be displayed.
