In order to activate on linux you need to have the hal software installed. To install using apt-get:`apt-get install hal`Once installed you should be able to activate. ---

Thank Travis, that did it! Any chance of updating the install instructions with that info? Or did I just miss it? ---

You’re right - we need to include that in the instructions, thanks. ---

Or make rpm and deb packages with the required dependencies? ---
