Installing TSS

TSS can only be installed on Linux. We will look at installing TSS on Ubuntu.

First visit the TSS download page :

http://gollum.artefacte.org/tss/#download

Here you will see a section with two links. One link is marked 'Debian / Ubuntu package#. We wish to install this version. Click on this link using FireFox and you will see a window appear like this :

downloadtss

The option selected by default is what we want to use. If we open the installer with GDebi Package Installer, then the installer will download and install automatically...sounds easy! So lets do this. Simply click 'OK'.

Installing on 64 bit

Now, if you see an error like this :

error_arch

this means you are trying to install the software on a computer with a different 'architecture' than allowed by the software. Actually you can bypass this but you have to do it on the command line.  First, instead of using GDebi you need to download the sources (.tar.gz file). Then from the same directory as where the installer is located you need to type this on the command line :

  sudo apt-get install dvgrab ffmpeg ffmpeg2theora libtheora-bin oggfwd libvte-dev

The above command might take a while as there is a lot to download and install. When the process is complete follow this with these commands :

tar zxvf tss-0.2.tar.gz

cd tss-0.2
./autogen.sh

Note : the name of the file to be installed will probably be different from that listed above.

Next execute the following commands :

 make
sudo make install

Now try typing 'TSS' on the command line, if it doesn't work then try this :

sudo cp src/tss /usr/bin/

The try starting TSS again from the command line :

tss

There has been error in communication with Booktype server. Not sure right now where is the problem.
