This is a tutorial on installing modules for the sword and bibletime extensions.
First sword needs to be installed. The best/easiest way to accomplish this is to install the bibletime extension via the app browser. This way you will also have an application to view the content of the modules. Also the zip extension will need to be installed.
Next find/download a module that is compatible with the SWORD Project. Many can be found at Crosswire's SWORD Project page here:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/. The raw zip files are used in this tutorial.
Here you have a choice of just installing the module or creating a personal tce extension for later use and ease of installation. If you would like to create a personal tce extension issue this command from the command line interface:
touch mark.swordmodule
If you do not want to create your own personal extension then move to the next step.
To install the sword module issue a command similar to the following:
sudo unzip /path/to/swordmodule.zip -d /usr/local/share/sword
This will install the contents of the sword module into /usr/local/share/sword.
If you decided not to create an extension then you are finished, otherwise continue.
To create the tce extension you need to find the files that were contained by the module. Issue the following command to do this:
find /usr/local/share/sword/ -newer mark.swordmodule -not -type d > filelist.swordmodule
Next you can create the tce with the following command:
tar czvf swordmodule.tce -T filelist.swordmodule
The last step is to copy the new personal extension to your tce directory for persistency. Use the following command to do this:
cp swordmodule.tce `cat /etc/sysconfig/tce.mount`/tce
The installed modules will now appear in the bibletime extension.
