Having to do ALEKS for my classes was one of the major hindrances that was stopping me from making the full switch to the (in my opinion) far superior GNU/Linux platform. But now I have found a solution to the problem, that is much better than their "streaming" option or the instructions that they have on their website for GNU/Linux, which still refer to netscape!
- Install (if you haven't already) the appropriate java package for you GNU/Linux distribution. In my case I believe it was just the wrapper package "default-java"
- Download the aleksPack10.jar
- Copy it (with sudo or root perms) to "/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/ext
- Do your ALEKS!
If this helped you and you are (understandably) mad about the ALEKS Corporation's lack of support please take the time to fill out a
support ticket complaining about the lack of GNU/Linux support that they offer you. I like to file the "technical problems" as it seems that they will get back to you sooner, even if it is only to say that it's not officially supported.
