Unpack it to a temporary directory using your favourite gui tool or {{{ cd temporary-directory tar -zxvf FontPack81_jpn_i486-linux.tar.gz}}} 3. Run the installation script {{{ cd JPNKIT sudo ./install}}} * You will be asked if Acrobat 8.1 is installed * You will be asked to accept the licence agreement * You will then be asked to enter the location where you installed the Adobe Reader '''DO NOT accept the default /opt!''' The default location is '''/usr/lib''' but you can check this by opening another terminal and typing ''locate /Adobe/Reader8/Resource'' and looking at what comes up. eg. {{{ /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Linguistics/Providers/Proximity/usa8603.lex /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Linguistics/Providers/Proximity/brt0401.lex /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Linguistics/Providers/Proximity/brt0402.lex /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Linguistics/LanguageNames /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Linguistics/LanguageNames/DisplayLanguageNames.en_US.txt}}} Enter the bit '''before''' the /Adobe/Reader8/ and press enter If everything works you should get {{{ Installing Common binaries ... Done Installing Common resources ... Done Installing Japanese language resources ... Done Installation completed.}}} 3. Go try it! ''And then clean up the temporary directory and install files - it's good housekeeping ;-)'' ----
