Adding RACHEL access for Users

As an admin, open terminal:

wget http://rachelfriends.org/downloads/public_ftp/rachelusb_32JU/rachelusb_32JU_1.1.zip

This download can take hours

unzip rachelusb_32JU_1.1.zip

sudo mv rachelusb_32JU_1.1 /var/opt/.

Open Chrome and in the browser navigate to /var/opt/rachelusb_32JU_1.1/START_HERE.html

If this works, on the desktop, as a Bookmark for a webpage and put in file:///var/opt/rachelusb_32JU_1.1/START_HERE.html to make a bookmark on the desktop. Alternatively, you can make this the default homepage in any browser settings.

New users (non-Admins) will also have access to this.

To test this functionality, instead of downloading all of RACHEL, you can download a small section for testing only. This would be the same as above, with the following changes:

wget http://rachelfriends.org/downloads/public_ftp/old/rachelusb_32JU_nomodules.zip

This download can take seconds

unzip rachelusb_32JU_nomodules.zip

sudo mv rachelusb_32JU_nomodules /var/opt/.

Open Chrome and in the browser navigate to /var/opt/rachelusb_32JU_nomodules/START_HERE.html
