Installing Bedework

Install Java

Needs to be the Oracle JDK. Download the .bin file and make it executable. Create appropriate directory, change to it and run the .bin file.

update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31/bin/java" 1

Creates link for java in /usr/bin/

update-alternatives --set java "/usr/local/bin/oracle-java-default/bin/java"

Not needed for a clean install – there are no other versions of java on the system.

Then in /etc/environment

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31"

Gave up at this point and decided to give DAViCal another go.
