How to install RabbitVCS in Ubuntu 11.10 Ocelot?

Question

I tried to install RabbitVCS on my machine following this guide but failed.

I'm stuck since the guide is officially from RabbitVCS. What should I do?

Answer 1

Looks like the PPAs are not available (going by the 404 and a cursory glance over here). I'd wait a bit till the PPAs are available.

Answer 2

First, download the tarball from here http://code.google.com/p/rabbitvcs/downloads/detail?name=rabbitvcs-0.15.0.5.tar.bz2&can=2&q=

Then, you'll need to extract it somewhere (I put it on the desktop)

Next step, open a terminal and:

cd ~/Desktop/rabbitvcs-0.15.0.5/

Then run the following command:

sudo python setup.py install --install-layout=deb

Next, run the following command:

sudo cp ./clients/nautilus-3.0/RabbitVCS.py /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions

then run:

nautilus -q

then:

pgrep -f service.py | xargs kill

then:

nohup nautilus > /dev/null &

Good luck ;P
