precise puppy-5.4;couldn't find iron in package repository
downloaded iron.deb and iron-linux.tar.gz from SRWare

#1 - installed .deb, received error (see attached); how resolve?
#2 - where can I find info on how to take the iron-linux.tar.gz and wrap it up in a pet?

try running it in a console like this

/usr/bin/iron --user-data-dir /root/irondata

create the folder /root/irondata first though

chrome307 has created a pet of Iron 22.0.1250.0 stable for Lucid: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81545. I confirm that it works for Precise Puppy as LoboGrande wrote.

@slenkar,

thanks
1 createe the folder /root/irondata
2 created the folder /root/irondata-user

cli results:

bash: /usr/bin/iron: No such file or directory

I would like to make this work.

@xman,

2 issues
#1 - it won't run, see attached
#2 - installation note says iron will be found under Internet, it is not under Internet but utility

so, what might I be doing wrong?

look in /usr/bin for the iron executable file

it should be called iron something

maybe iron-linux

executables have the gear icon in puppy

I am not a programmer. However, I have managed to overcome the Iron/Chrome cannot be run as Root" by simple tweak in executable file.

My installation is frugal. (precise puppy5.4.1). Iron sfs is working fine.
