Getting FrontDoorSoftware to run.

Step	What we are doing in the step	command
1	download the tar (Version B0.1.0) click on link	FDS-B0.10.0.tar
2	Uncompress the tar file.	tar -xvf FDS-B0.1.tar
3	Move the FDS directory to /etc	sudo cp -r FDS /etc/
4	Change to the /etc/FDS directory	cd /etc/FDS
5	copy the startup script to /etc/init.d	sudo cp scripts/FDS /etc/init.d/
6	copy the libwpsapi.so lib to /usr/lib/	sudo cp libwpsapi.so /usr/lib/
7	(If you do not want FDS to start automaticaly skip this step) Update your bootup scripts to start FDS when computer starts	cd /etc/init.d sudo update-rc.d FDS defaults

Note: To remove the script
sudo update-rc.d -f FDS remove

Below is how I have my fileSystem setup

Now we need to make the FDSDisplay part load when the user logs in. Here is how you do it grapically.

Step 1: Open the session by going to System->Preferences->Session View session location Here

Step 2: Select "add".

Step 3: Enter "FrontDoorSoftware Display" for the name.
Enter a description like the example
Enter "/etc/FDS/FDSDisplay start" for the command.
Then click add.

Now the display will start when you login.

Since I dislike restarting or loggin off when I am testing a program you can type these command to get the program up and running.

cd /etc/FDS/
(start the daemon by command line)
sudo ./FDS start
(You need to have the graphical display runing)
./FDSDisplay start

Once the display is showing click on "License Setup" on the top menu link.
