2.2. Installation of the Linux version

MoKa is distributed for the Linux platform as a tarball archive; the only step required for installation is to unpack the archive in the desired location.

Optionally, the installation path could be added to the user's $PATH variable, so that commands are more convenient to type at the shell prompt.

For example:

[user@localhost ~]$ tar xzf moka-1.0.3-linux.tar.gz
[user@localhost ~]$ export PATH=$PATH:~/moka-1.0.3
[user@localhost ~] moka_cli
No suitable license line was found for this host.
Please send the following line to Molecular Discovery.

2.3. Licensing

Use of the installed programs requires a suitable license line.

On first run, and as long as no valid license is found for the current host, MoKa will show a dialog window like this:

Command-line tools will generate an equivalent message like:

[user@localhost moka]$ ./moka_cli 
No suitable license line was found for this host.
Please send the following line to Molecular Discovery.

localhost 1195582880 L MOKA_SUITE 07-Oct-2009 eJDpLFUvAKwI key

License requests should be submitted online to our
web site: http://www.moldiscovery.com

Please send the line shown to MD. License requests should be submitted online to the Moleculer Discovery web site (http://www.moldiscovery.com). We will send you back a similar line containing the license key.

License lines should be copied verbatim to the license.txt file, located in the MoKa install folder. As long as this file does not contain a suitable license line, MoKa will keep showing the above information or an error message and will not start.

Please notice that license lines are unique for each system. If you repeat the installation on a different host you will need a new license line.
