Wolfram Workbench 2 Installation Instructions for Linux

When your download has completed; open a command line, naviagate to the location of the download, and execute the following (we recommend you do this using root/sudo priveleges).

# sh A-LINUX-WWB-2.0.0-1446957.sh

The installer prompts you to specify the directory to which Wolfram Workbench should be installed. Press &crarr to accept the default, or type in a new location and then press &crarr.

Once the installer has finished copying the files, you can launch Wolfram Workbench from the installation directory by entering;

./WolframWorkbench.

A window will appear asking you to select a workspace. Either accept the default or browse to select a different folder for your workspace, then press OK.

Wolfram Workbench will now start and you will see the main window.

If you have the SELinux enhancements to the Linux kernel enabled, Wolfram Workbench may not be able to launch the Wolfram Engine, and you will receive an error message. To fix this please run the following command as root:

chcon -c -v -R -u system_u -r object_r -t lib_t
