<<< Previous |  | Next >>>

# Quickstart [out-of-date - see README that comes with JM]

After installing Jungle Monkey, run 'jm' to start it (or launch it from the Gnome menu if you compiled it with Gnome support). You should see a channel called "Monkey Central". Hopefully, channel announcements will appear in Monkey Central. Right-click to make a popup menu appear with a list of options. Right-click on "Monkey Central" and select "Create Channel". You will be asked to give the channel a name. Once you've created your channel, drop-and-drag some files into it.

You can join other channels by double-clicking them. Try this with some channel advertised in Monkey Central.

Note that to have your channels announced, you must create them in a channel (by right-clicking the channel and selecting "Create Channel"). Root-channels, created by selecting "Create Root Channel", do not get advertised on Monkey Central (though you can send the URL to your friends).

| NOTE
| One can NOT add files to a root channel, only channels and folders are allowed. You should recieve and error message if you try to do this.

This is the channel tab. Here is where you browse channels and folders. If you have Gnome support installed you can bookmark your favorite channels. (Right click on the channel on the left hand side of the screen and then select 'Bookmark')

This is where Jungle Monkey shows what you are downloading and the percentage of the file already downloaded. To stop a file transfer, right click on it and select 'Cancel Download'.

This is the search tab. First select the server nearest to you. Then enter a seach phrase.

| Note: Regular expression are NOT yet supported. (ie. don't use * as a wildcard and expect it to work)

| Only the first 200 search results are displayed.

This is the general preferences tab. [in Settings->Preferences]. Here you can select Jungle Monkey's download directory.

If you then click on the nework tab, you can configure your network settings.
