After you've chosen to install the Java runtime, c1-install begins installing and configuring ConsoleOne to run on your workstation. It won't take c1-install that long to install ConsoleOne; it will display a text-based progress indicator for each RPM it installs. When the installation finishes, you'll see the following message, followed by your command prompt:

%% Java Runtime Environment Successfully Installed
%% ConsoleOne Successfully Installed
%% Execute /usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne to run ConsoleOne
%% Snapins Successfully Installed

If you see any errors, you'll need to rerun c1-install. Note any error messages that occur during the installation so that you can resolve them during the second installation. If you see the message above, you're ready to run ConsoleOne.

Running ConsoleOne For Linux
You can run ConsoleOne from a command prompt within your window manager, or you can put an icon on your Linux workstation's desktop so you won't have to type the command every time you run ConsoleOne. You can run ConsoleOne at a command prompt without having to log in to the workstation as root. Just open up a command prompt, type /usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne, and press [Enter]. You'll see the screen shown in Figure B.

Figure B
ConsoleOne runs under Linux.

After ConsoleOne loads, you must log in to your NDS tree. You'll have to do this even if you've previously configured your Linux workstation to connect to your NetWare server. That's because ConsoleOne requires an NDS connection, and Linux's basic NetWare connection only makes a bindery connection.

To connect to your NDS tree, select the tree icon in ConsoleOne that represents your NDS tree. Next, select Authenticate from the File menu. You'll then see the login screen shown in Figure C.

Figure C
You must log in to your NDS tree.

Enter your Admin user ID and password, along with the tree name and context you want to use to log in to the NDS tree. Don't be surprised if you can't select a tree or context from the Tree or Context drop-down list box. Just type the tree name and context in the appropriate fields.

After you enter the information, click Login to proceed. ConsoleOne will connect to your NDS tree and display all the objects in your tree, as shown in Figure D.

Figure D
After you log in, you have full access to your NDS tree.

You can now do anything from ConsoleOne in Linux that you can with ConsoleOne under Windows. You may notice some objects that you can't work with. If this is the case, it's because you don't have the appropriate snap-in for that object. You'll need to obtain and install the appropriate snap-in. If one isn't available for ConsoleOne For Linux, you must use a different administration tool to work with that object.
