Installation

Using a terminal window, issue the following commands. Download the file:

wget http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/zdesktop/10580/zdesktop_2_0_b10580_linux_i686.tgz

Extract the files from the archive using (sudo in this case is very important!):

sudo tar xzvf zdesktop_2_0_b10580_linux_i686.tgz

Then cd into that directory:

cd zdesktop_2_0_b10580_linux_i686/

And run:

sudo perl install.pl

Enter your password and hit return/enter.

Follow the on-screen instructions, if you choose the defaults, you should have a launcher on your desktop, we need to get rid of that and the zdesktop directory in your home folder:

cd ~
sudo rm -rf zdesktop Desktop/zd.desktop

Then we need to create a new one using:

/opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/user-install.pl

Uninstallation

If you used the defaults during the installation, you can remove ZimbraDesktop by issuing the following commands. (note: this section is not yet complete)

sudo rm -rf /opt/zimbra/
