Recital on Linux 64 bit requires certain 32 bit libraries for installation and/or operation.  It also needs to be installed and configured as the root user, or using sudo for those systems without a root login.

For systems that do not have the xterm libraries installed, please install these to use xterm, or set the DB_TERM environment variable to start Recital from a terminal:

DB_TERM=gnome-terminal; export DB_TERM

This setting can be added to the /opt/recital/conf/recital.conf (text) file to make it available system-wide.

Please note that the Recital ODBC Driver for Linux requires a 32 bit ODBC Driver Manager.

Centos 6:

sudo yum install zlib-devel.i686 pam-devel.i686

(and accept dependencies)
Then run the installer in text mode

sudo ./recital-10.0.3-linux32.bin --mode text

Run Recital with sudo the first time, to set the system filetype compatiblity settings.

sudo recital

After saving the compatibility settings, quit to exit, then run Recital as your preferred user.

> quit
$ recital

RedHat / Fedora family:

sudo yum install zlib-devel.i686 pam.i686

(and accept dependencies)
Then run the installer in text mode

sudo ./recital-10.0.3-linux32.bin --mode text

Run Recital with sudo the first time, to set the system filetype compatiblity settings.

sudo recital

 Ubuntu family:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 

In later versions of Ubuntu, ia32-libs is obsolete. The following package should be installed:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1

Ubuntu 12.04 and above also require the following:

sudo apt-get install libpam0g:i386

Then run the installer in text mode

sudo ./recital-10.0.3-linux32.bin --mode text

Run Recital with sudo the first time, to set the system filetype compatiblity settings.

sudo recital

Opening SSH to the outside world is a security risk. Here is how to restrict SSH access to certain IP addresses on a machine.

1. Edit the /etc/hosts.allow file to include these lines, assuming your machine is on the 192.168.2.x nonrouting IP block, and you want to enable an external address of 217.40.111.121 IP block: Remember to add the period on the end of each incomplete IP number. If you have another complete IP address or range, add a space and that range on the end.
   
   

   sshd,sshdfwd-X11: 192.168.2. 217.40.111.121

2. Edit your /etc/hosts.deny file to include this line:
   
   

   sshd,sshdfwd-X11:ALL 

3. These lines refuse SSH connections from anyone not in the IP address blocks listed.

Additionally you can restrict SSH access by username.

1. Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add the following lines
   
   

   PermitRootLogin no
   AllowUsers      user1 user2 user3 etc
   PasswordAuthentication yes

Now restart the ssh daemon for these changes to take effect

service sshd restart
