Problem Installing Limewire - Received Errors While Installing

Asked by taurus

When trying to install Limewire, I get the following errors. It says that I need to install certain dependencies. How can I get all these installed automatically without having to install them one by one?

x@xx:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i LimeWireLinux.deb
Selecting previously deselected package limewire-basic.
(Reading database ... 128920 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking limewire-basic (from LimeWireLinux.deb) ...

limewire requires a java runtime..so you can install jre ..or even jdk if you want to work on java programs in your future.
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

for jdk (which includes jre too)
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
