608. Bruker Topspin on Debian Jessie

Here's a more extensive description of how to install Bruker Topspin (student version):

Very briefly:

$ wget http://bruker.telemaxx.net/student/linux-topspin.sh
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libxft2:i386 libxtst6:i386 perl-tk libcups2:i386 openjdk-7-jdk
$ su -
# xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority 
# exit
$ sh linux-topspin.sh
$ ~/carbon/topspin$ sh linux-topspin.sh 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

[I was doing this while logged in via ssh -XC to the student's computer, and without a pdf reader installed. If a pdf opens, close it to continue the installation. Don't worry about the errors.]

Here are screenshots from the installation process:

The only thing that remained was to install the license.dat file that Bruker had issued to my student:

sudo mv /usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/licenses/license.dat /usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/licenses/license.bak
sudo cp ~/carbon/topspin/license.dat /usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/licenses/license.dat
