application past and present code listing.
'''Please Note:''' <blockquote>At times when the ownCloud Community has a new major version release (i.e. 6 to 7) some ownCloud applications may no longer function correctly under the new release. Usually the application author has not updated their software to be compatible with the new ownCloud release. However, it is possible to use an application version from the last "point ownCloud release" (i.e. 6.0.4, 6.0.3, ...) as a substitute until the author or ownCloud developer gets around to updating the application. In this case a download from GitHub will be required.</blockquote>* Open a "terminal" window on the Amahi server and "su" to the "root" ID ( Linux administrator).
*Applications downloaded are in a "zip" file format and should be extracted to a target working directory and not the ownCloud "apps" directory.
*After the application has been extracted make sure that the main directory name includes only the intended application name. If there is additional information, rename the directory to the application name (make the name is all lower case).*Copy the application to the ownCloud "apps" directory ("/var/hda/web-apps/owncloud/html/apps").*"cd" in to the "/var/hda/web-apps/owncloud/html/apps" directory (please see note following regarding some Amahi changes). This is where the ownCloud applications are stored.*Using the "ls" command a directory to find the application's directory name.*Set the permissions for the application directory and its dependants: <blockquote>:Ownership: chown -Rv apache:users <browncloud application directory name>:Priviledges: chmod -Rv 755 <more comingowncloud application directory name></blockquote>*Open a browser session, go to the ownCloud instance, login as the "administration user", and navigate to the Apps listing.*The owncloud application should appear in the section for uninstalled applications.*Click on this application name. Details for the application will appear on the right. Click on the "Enable" button to enable the application.*Navigate back to the "administration user's" home and check the list of ownCloud applications available, it should be there.*Test the application to ensure proper functionality. If it does not work try an another early version of the application (remembering to manually remove the application first).
