# 2.3. Linux

You should have a little bit of experience with Linux for this to be easy.

1. Install MPlayer with MEncoder with XviD and DVD support. If your distribution does not have a package for this then you will have to build it yourself. Refer to the MPlayer documentation for instructions on how to do that.

2. Install a Java runtime environment 1.4 or higher. Check to see if your distribution has packages for this.

3. Install SWT. Use your distribution's utilities if possible.

4. Open a terminal and run

       $ tar -xvjf iriverter-VER.tar.bz2
       $ cd iriverter-VER
       $ ./configure --with-swt=/path/to/swt.jar
       $ make
       # make install

5. Start iriverter by clicking the menu item in your Sound & Video menu or by running iriverter on the command line.

If you'd rather use GCJ than Java to build iriverter, append `--with-gcj` to your configure command. The rest of the instructions are the same.
