Installing Ninan

• Make sure you have java version 1.4.x or higher installed. If not get it here
• Download the Ninan zip file here
• Unpack the zip file. This will result in a new directory named like: ninan-x.x.x
• Go to the new directory and start Ninan with the ninancore.bat file.

• Make sure you have java version 1.4.x or higher installed. If not get it here
• For the unix version the JAVA_HOME has to be correctly pointed to where the java is installed.
• If you have installed java at /usr/local/java1.4 then this line will do the trick:
  export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java1.4
• Download the Ninan tar.gz file here
• Unpack the tar.gz file. This will result in a new directory named like: ninan-x.x.x
• Go to the new directory run this command: chmod 755 ninancore.sh
• Then start Ninan in the background with: nohup ./ninancore.sh &
• If you do not use the nohup and & then it will not start in the background and the restart feature will not work.

• When you have started ninan this link will get you started if you are one the same machine on which Ninan is installed.
• At the login page use "admin" as username and "password" as password.
• Then go to the settings page. This will default show the general settings submenu. Here you have to change the following:
  - newzbin username and password if you want to use the newzbin integration.
  - admin username and password (very recommendable !) - ninan username and password (very recommendable !)
• Under the settings go to the newsservers and fill out all the settings with your newsserver and usernaem/password (if any)
• After this hit the restart button (on the top) or somehow restart Ninan. After this Ninan should be ready for use. See the usage page.
