Best forum to share something for B4A & B4J

I'm currently working in an installation script of both B4A and B4J (and possibly B4I when it comes out) to use them in Ubuntu linux. It is based on the previous discontinued work by Zolive33 (& here).

I have already a working first version, but I don't know where should I open the thread for it. Which subforum do you think is the most appropriate? Because I don't think duplicating the thread is a good idea.

Thank you!

Post it in one of the tutorials forums. Start another thread in the other product tutorials forum and post a link to the actual tutorial.

(Make sure that the script doesn't include any links to the full version as happened in the past...)

Thank you Erel, that is the best solution.

Yes I know, don't worry, it only has the free version link. And the instructions to change it for the full version link that one receives by email after buying it.

One more thing. Do you mind if I use the name B4LinuxInstall for it? I already include a note clarifying that this is not an official tool by Anywhere, but since it begins by B4, I wanted to check. If it's a problem I could change it.

Hi Jose,
will the installation script automate the whole work, including installing Android and Java SDK and configuration?
Thanks

Yes. I still need to explain it in detail in the thread. But the script already downloads and installs java, android sdk, wine, java SDK for windows, B4A and B4J. Leaves everything working. It puts android sdk and wine directories inside ~/workspace_b4 by default. It needs at least 2,1 GB, but it can be much more if you install unneeded componentes like java sources or several android apis and examples...

Great Jose..
I don't want to disturb your work, and would suggest to you to port it to Windows.. I had this wish long time ago.. the automated installation of both (now the three) products.
