I am running Ubuntu 12.4. Trying to figure out what directory I should extract rapidminer to and any changes I need to make to ensure it runs. I am just knowledgeable on Linux to be dangerous, most of my installs are thru the package manager. Thanks!

    You can install RapidMiner Studio to any folder you like (and have access to). You may use your home folder or install to /opt/RapidMiner, you are free to choose a location that fits your needs. The only thing you have to take care of is that Java 7 is installed (or Java 6 if you run RapidMiner 5.3). In order to start RapidMiner Studio you need to run RapidMiner-Studio.sh in your terminal. Please ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set. This can be done from the command line by invoking "export JAVA_HOME=YourJavaPath" or by editing your the .bashrc file in your home directory where you can enter the same command and have it executed whenever you open a bash terminal.
