Installing on Ubuntu 14.04

Java 8

Java 8 is required for 1.4 version and all newer version

I recommend you to use Webup8 Oracle Java8 Installer. Command below will install it but won't make it default.

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

To automatically set up the Java 8 environment variables

  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Check it

  java -version

Should be something like

  java version "1.8.0_25"


If you don't want to make it default, create a "jre" link in MagicAssistant folder to java 8 jre somewhere else on the system. For example

  cd MagicAssistant
  ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/ jre


WebKit

Webkit is required for browser to work inside the app

  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-common
