howto: limewire on ubuntu

Limewire is a good p2p program,;however, ther is not a debian package on www.limewire.com. So if we need to install limewire on ubuntu there is a simple way:)
1.The rpm package of limewire is downloaded from www.limewire.com


2. Then install alien which is a package converter for ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install alien


3.After installing alien command this:
sudo alien -d LimeWireLinux.rpm

This command will generate the debian package of limewire. If the name of downloaded file is different, just command

sudo alien -d "the name of th file" #don't use quotations.


4. Now you can install it by dpkg or clicking on the icon of .deb package, whatever you want:)

installing with dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_4.13.0-1_i386.deb

That's all...

important note: The JRE must be installed, because limewire is a written in java.
