If you use the Gemini image this is how to do a manual install of a plugin or cam. The steps may vary for other images.
1. Download the file from your favourite site. It will probably be .tar.bz or .gz or similar.
2. FTP this file (do not unzip or unrar it) into /tmp (/var/tmp may work but I've tested it from that directory).
3. If using Gemini (other images may have different buttons/ options) press:
blue button > addons > Manual install
4. You will see your recently FTPd file listed. If not then it has not been recognized and it is the wrong format. See here for a post that may help.
5. Select your file and press the green button to Install it. Ensure there is enough room in /var if you use a DM500s
6. If your install has been sucessful you can now use whatever you installed.
If this a cam/ emu go to:
blue panel > Auto-Cam setup
If you installed a plugin go to:
blue panel > plugins
and select your recently installed plugin. If this was the HackSat plugin select it and press OK. Use the < > remote keys to highlight the emu that you use and press OK. It will now download and install the latest keys if you have an internet connection.
