Lotus Notes 8.5 Installation

This is a place-holder section. In the mean time, the best installation/configuration/removal instructions is through IBM’s Notes Client Installation and Upgrade document. It provides instructions for all the OS’s IBM supports for Notes. Evaluation downloads including all supported platforms are available here: Evaluate: Lotus Notes and Domino Administrator clients. Note that the Administration Client and Domino Designer client are only available for Windows. The client, Lotus Notes, and the server, Lotus Domino, are available. Note that while the client is supported for Ubuntu, the server installation requires a little googling/tweaking to succeed. So Linux users can use the Domino server and Notes clients for mail and applications, but server administration and application design needs to be done using Windows. Note that a lot of server administration can be done using a web administration interface included with the Domino server. Please see the Administration help included for more information.

The basic steps are as follows:

• Get the 8.5.x release package. It comes in either RPM or DEB formats. Once you have the tarball, (usually something like lotus_notes851_linux.tar), extract it into a new folder:
• You’ll now have a set of RPM or DEB files. If you’ve got DEB files, you’re set. Continue to the next step. If all you have are RPM files, you’ll have to convert them to DEB using alien:

If you’re doing a fresh install, just run the installation:

If you’re upgrading from 8.0.1, you can probably still perform the fresh install steps above, but there’s a caveat! It seems that if you had Sametime installed in 8.0.1 and you run the install you’ll have an endless number of «ActivityMonitor» or «ScheduleAutoLogin» messages. This has something to do with how Instant Messaging is configured in Sametime. There’s an acknowledged issue, and comments about this. The better solution is to just go for a fresh install, by renaming your 8.0.1 install folder and doing a fresh install: This is, of course, assuming that you’re initial install was to the /opt/ibm folder.

That’s it — you’ll now have 8.5.1 installed.

Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on Jaunty Jackalope

This section defines the installation steps for Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on Jaunty Jackalope (9.04).

Pre-Requisites

Notes 8 for Linux requires the following:

• libstdc++ version 5
• Eclipse. It’s probably not absolutely necessary, but the notes client is built on Eclipse and your life will probably be a bit easier if you have it.

Graphical Installation Steps

• Create a new folder that you can work from
• Download Lotus Notes for Linux into this folder. This is usually available from your Notes administrator, or as part of the Notes/Domino package. The file’s called C19U2EN.tar.
• Untar the file:
• Run the installer as sudo’er:

This should launch the graphical InstallShield wizard. You’ll be asked to accept the license and specify an installation folder (/opt/ibm/lotus/notes). You can accept these defaults if you wish, or change them to your preference.

The java-based installer has some screen issues on my machine. You have to click the mouse for about a second on the Next/Back navigation buttons in order for the action to be correctly detected. Screen refresh also seems very poor, so you may have to move the window about a bit for some of the screen to become visible. But YMMV.

You’ll finally got to the summary selections and install window, at which point you click Install.

After installation is completed Notes should appear in Application -> Office -> Lotus Notes 8. But when you try to launch it as a regular user, you’ll end up with a «Permission Denied» error!

Change ownership of the lotus folder in your home folder:

Change ownership of the notes install folder. Note that this may cause problems if you’re trying to use notes for multiple users on the same host. Let’s assume you’re not going to do that!

Change ownership of the configuration folders — /etc/lotus:

• This is necessary to allow your id file and individual configurations to be saved properly, and the initial error if you don’t do this will be related to the pernames.ntf file (/etc/lotus/notes/data/shared/pernames.ntf).

You should now be able to launch Notes (Application -> Office -> Lotus Notes 8), but you’ll end up with another error:

• Continue for now. We’ll fix this in a later step

You’ll be asked for your id file to launch notes. This should have been provided by your network administrator, and is probably on a shared drive somewhere. Navigate to this location and select the file.

Notes should now launch.

Console Installation Steps

InstallShield wizard will install Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on your computer. Select 1 to continue.

Accept license

Accept default install directory (/opt/IBM/Lotus/Notes)

Uninstalling

Removed Notes takes the following steps:

• Go to the install folder. By default this is /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/_uninst/
• Run uninstaller.bin. Uninstallation may take quite a while, so be patient!

Troubleshooting and SNAFU’s

=== During Installation ===

• «The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.»
  • Caused by absence of libstdc++5. See the pre-requisites section above. You MUST have libstdc++5 for the installer to run.

Post-installation (when running Notes)

Trying to run Notes as a regular user results in «Could not launch ‘Lotus Notes 8’. Failed to execute child process . «. This is thanks to the fact that we Notes was installed as sudo (which is the only way you *can* install). Here are some things to try out to fix this problem.

Your home directory should have a lotus folder (

/lotus) which is owned by root. Change this and the notes install folder to be owned by you:

Lotus Notes 6.5.2 on Breezy Badger using Wine

This section documents the procedure to install Lotus Notes Client (version 6.5.2) on Breezy Badger (this may work on earlier releases but has not been tested).

If you find any errors/changes to this document please feel free to write to

Requirements

You will need to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

Installation

Installing wine

To install wine you’ll need to perform the following:

Installing Lotus Notes Client in ubuntu

• Install Lotus Notes Client 6.5.2 under Windows. Unfortunately wine still does not have support for windows installers. Make sure that you install this on a partition that is writable under ubuntu (a vfat partition is preferable)
• Execute wine once, without any command line arguments as

This would setup wine and place the correct configuration files.

• Create symlinks to windows partitions for use with wine.

• Almost done! Now use the following command to run Lotus Notes Client 6.5.2. Note the use of double slashes.

I’ve created a shell script

/bin/lotus-client that executes this long command for me.

Use an editor like gedit to create a file lotus-notes as:

Lotus Domino 8.0 [ править ]

Установка на ALT Linux Server 4.0 [ править ]

Это руководство стоит рассматривать как выжимку из официального руководства по установке, учитывающее ALT- специфику.

От пользователя root:

1. Создаём пользователя domino

2. Создаём data directory

Установка с использованием response.dat не работает, по-этому запускаем ./install и отвечаем на вопросы установщика, указав соответствующие data_directory и имя пользователя.

На этом установка завершена. /opt/ibm/lotus — дирректория программы, /var/lib/domino/notesdata — конфигурационные файлы, базы и прочее

Установка [ править ]

Установка производилась на Альт Линукс СПТ 6.0 i586 с установленной графической средой GNOME.

Перед установкой убедитесь, что доступен из Интернета или зеркала репозиторий cert6 (i586 и noarch).

Скачайте архив с кодом и распакуйте командой:

Установите базовые и зависимые приложения:

При этом будут также установлены пакеты из онлайнового репозитория: libXp libgnomecups libgnomeprint libgnomeprintui tcsh

Примечание: При обновлении и установке пакетов может быть показана надпись:

Нажмите клавишу y и Enter или просто Enter.

Во время установки (когда будет установлен последний пакет ibm_lotus_notes и показано 100%, откройте в другом окне файл /tmp/rcp_install и ждите, когда там будет последняя строка вида:

Переключитесь на консоль установки и нажмите Ctrl+c.

Запуск [ править ]

Запустить клиент Lotus Notes можно из меню Офис → Lotus Notes 8.5.

Примечания [ править ]

1. Для того, чтобы Lotus Notes запустился, нужно скопировать /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/data/notes.ini в одном из каталогов, которые указывает вывод

(например, в $HOME/bin) и дать права писать в этот файл пользователю, от которого будет запускаться программа.

2. Возникают проблемы со шрифтами (очень маленький шрифт). Должно решаться установкой шрифта Tahoma из Windows и указанием его, в качестве шрифта по умолчанию в настройках DE, либо установкой пакета fonts-ttf-ms (но это не срабатывает).

Step 2: Install Lotus Notes on Linux CentOS-4

Find out how to install the Lotus Notes client application on the Linux CentOS-4 platform.

Now that you’ve installed the Linux CentOS-4 client software, it’s time to install Lotus Notes:

Log into Linux CentOS-4.

Before installing Lotus Notes, you must fulfill one of its dependencies, which is Mozilla. For some unexplained reason, Lotus Notes needs the old Mozilla Web browser — rather than Firefox — to install properly. You can download Mozilla here and unpack it.

Pull up a GNOME Terminal and type su to log in as root.

Assuming you unpacked Mozilla (as mentioned in Step 2) to your desktop, type:

Now type and then

From there, enter the following two lines into the top of the file (For help with vi click here.):

Leave the root shell.

With Mozilla set, Lotus Notes is ready to go. Copy the .zip file of Notes onto your desktop and extract it into a folder.

Within that folder, you will see the Personality.zip, readme.txt, and setuplinux.bin files. Extract the Personality.zip file into the current folder.

Set the Owner execute bit on setuplinux.bin and setup_wct_platform.bin. You’ll need to right click on «Properties» -> Permissions in Nautilus.

Copy setuplinux.bin to updateSite/features/com.ibm.workplace.notesinstall. linux.feature_7.0.1.0000-0900/bin/linux. This folder was created when you extracted Personality.zip.

Run the command: setup_wct_platform.bin. You must do this from a terminal, since Nautilus won’t run *.bin files.

Accept the license terms of the installer and click «Next.» If you see an error about Mozilla, go back and do the previous steps again.

I’m going to assume that you are doing the installation for one user — as opposed to a multi-user install. Select that user’s home directory when you are prompted.

The next screen is a summary screen, which then changes to the actual installation. When this installer is done, yet another installer window pops up, and proceeds to install more files.

From here, a third window appears, this is another installation wizard. Accept the terms and allow it to perform its steps. The wizard will then direct you to log out and log back in before running Lotus Notes, but do not do this now — there are still a few more steps before you’re finished.

Click «Finish.» The window will disappear and the installer it has spawned will continue installing more files. When this finishes, click «Finish» again and log out. Make sure to log out quickly because Lotus Notes will try to start by itself if you wait.

When you log back in, create a text file named noteslauncher.sh.

Copy the following text into that file.

Save the file into /home/user/bin, and then replace all of the ‘users’ above with your actual username.

Set the Owner execute flag on noteslauncer.sh.

Edit the file /home/user/Desktop/IBM Lotus Notes.desktop so that this line:

Be sure to edit /home/user/.local/share/applications/IBM Lotus Notes.desktop in the same manner.

Log out and back in again and make sure that GNOME does not have any of the desktop files cached.

Run Lotus Notes using the desktop icon or the menu icon. When Notes launches, you will see the standard configuration dialog about Notes services.

After initial setup, you can run Lotus Notes using the program icons, just as you would under Microsoft Windows.
