Dropped my TwitterFox for twhirl today. Runs flawlessly on Ubuntu 8.10.
Installation was a breeze, here’s the walkthrough.
Download Adobe AIR Beta from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air_linux.html
Install Adobe AIR
danesh@pandora:~/Desktop$ ls<br /> adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin<br /> danesh@pandora:~/Desktop$ chmod +x adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin<br /> danesh@pandora:~/Desktop$ ./adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin<br /> danesh@pandora:~/Desktop$
Download twhirl from http://www.twhirl.org/project/twhirl
Double click the twhirl file to start the installation. The installer will install twhirl to /opt/twhirl/ .
That’s it! you now have twhirl installed.
