Installing Prism on Linux
“Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop “ ~ MozillaLabs
Prism is now available in version 1.0 beta
You can install Prism in two ways, here is the standalone version.
Download Prism standalone (from the download pagehttp://prism.mozilla.com/started/) or from the terminal.
# wget -c http://prism.mozilla.com/downloads/1.0b1/prism-1.0b1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
Extract the archive to your home folder and all you have to do is run the prism executable.
# tar xjf prism*.tar.bz2
Or you can make it available for all your users.
Open the terminal, go root and
# mv /home/user/prism /opt
#ln -s /opt/prism/prism /usr/bin/prism
and there you have it.
You can edit the menu and add the menu item for prism so you can access it from the menu or just type “prism” in the terminal. Or Alt + F2 and run prism.
To remove your Prism applications just delete the desktop icon. Simple as that.
