FrostWire

=====FrostWire=====
I saw FrostWire mentioned in one of the Linux forums and thought that I'd give it a try. I downloaded FrostWire from [http://www.frostwire.com/ The FrostWire Site]. It saved to my desktop by default. To install the program I opened a terminal and installed the .rpm package.
sudo rpm -ivh /home/glenn/Desktop/frostwire-4.13.2.noarch.rpm
Once installed there will be a new menu item, Applications > Internet > FrostWire. Alas, clicking on FrostWire in the menu did nothing. FrostWire appears to be non-functional. But wait, a little digging for a solution got me some help. A thread at [http://forum.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=163529&highlight=frostwire Fedora Forum] shows that one needs to install something called '''libXp'''. To do that I opened a terminal and typed
sudo yum install libXp
A few seconds later '''libXp''' was installed. Now clicking the menu item runs FrostWire and I see the '''Language Options screen.

Clicking '''Next''' advances to the welcome screen.

Clicking '''Next''' advances to the '''Save Folder''' dialog.

I'll leave the save folder as it is. Clicking '''Next''' advances to the '''Connection Speed''' dialog.

I have cable so I'll leave the default. Adjust this to your own preference. Clicking '''Next''' advances to the '''Chat Nickname''' dialog.

At this point I was unable to type anything in the box. Looking in the FrostWire forums I found that there seems to be a bug in the installer related to language selection. Nothing I tried worked so I cancelled the setup and started it again. This time I was able to type in a chat nickname and move forward with the setup. Clicking '''Next''' advances to the '''Scan For Files''' dialog.

I didn't want FrostWire to scan my system so I selected '''No''' and clicked '''Next''', advancing to the '''Finish Setup''' dialog.

FrostWire launches and I'm outa here!
