installJRMC - MC install script for Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and Mint
bob:
Just a heads-up, the next build will have a few executable changes.
The launcher mc27 will be removed from the /usr/bin/ dir and moved to the app installation dir (/usr/lib/jriver/Media Center xx).
There will be new binary in the app installation directory called PackageInstaller.
There will be a symlink in the app installation directory to the mediacenter27 executable in /usr/bin/
RemyJ:
Thanks for the heads up!

Sorry for the noob question, does this mean the new version will have to be completely installed from scratch or does the usual way to update still work?
many thanks

Haven't been dropping in often, but I added a small update to installJRMC to hide the duplicate PackageInstaller icon (confusing with GNOME).
I had paused the repo while I had time to review the changes that Bob mentioned. It looks like everything is good to go so I flipped on the repo builds again (in case anyone was wondering why they weren't getting updates).
Supporting lots of different esoteric OSes is too much of a pain for me to individually maintain, so I'm going to focus on abstracting the installation procedures to something higher level (Python/Ansible) or containerized instead of extending the shell script. Red Hat's handling of CentOS 8 was the final nail in the coffin (and part of the reason I haven't had time to post much here).

The RPM will handle the file layout changes for you.

Still can't load up MC version 27 onto Linux Mint. Can you give us an ETA?

Are you still interested in this?

Good day, BryanC.
I am installing MC on Debian for the first time. I am using vmware for testing. I ask for a hint in which direction to look for the cause of my failure.
