Tutorial: How to install CSP

This Tutorial is designed to help load CSP from start to finish up and running

I will split posts to section out each part required.

Question, What do you need for CSP

Answer, Well for this Tutorial you will need a Linux based PC, ie Debian or Ubuntu,
also another emu already loaded such as newcs or oscam ( This is Required to get your local Card operational.)
1-
CSP runs in a Java Environment and for the newer updated versions Sun Java6 so lets get that installed first.

Firstly you will need to open a putty terminal or cmd window to you server.
Code:
sudo –i

Then use your text editor such as vim or nano I prefer nano but the choice is yours.
if you want to use same comma$$$ as me and have not got nano then

Code:
apt-get install nano

2-

Code:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add string

Code:
deb You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login lenny/volantile main contrib
deb-src You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login lenny/volantile main contrib

deb ftp.osuosl.org :: Oregon State University Open Source Lab lenny main non-free
deb-src ftp.osuosl.org :: Oregon State University Open Source Lab lenny main non-free

then

Code:
apt-get update

and finally to install

Code:
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

If you got any error installing sun-java6-jdk then move to section 3 otherwise go to section 4

3-

Code:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

(hit y for each question...)

Code:
sudo aptitude update



Code:
sudo aptitude upgrade



Code:
apt-get update



Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

If you get the error: e: sun-java-jdk has no installation candidate then:

From menu:
Add & enable Partner Repo:
SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> SOFTWARE SOURCES -> OTHER SOFTWARE -> ADD
deb You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login lucid partner
Then CLOSE window and RELOAD, then
search for Sun Java or


Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

If you get error that installation path is not /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java then run:


Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

and select the option that has the path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
