Installation in Linux

it runs exactly in the same way as windows. but get sure default Java in Linux is Sun Java. Some Linux distribution including latest version of Ubuntu ships with Java alternative. So, if you see trouble reinstall Java with Sun latest JRE or JDK. To get JRE in ubuntu you can follow instructions here

For ubuntu 9.10 we use

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin

When installation is complete remember to set path for Java or directly run Java from Sun JRE as follows 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -jar floreantpos.jar
