<li>'''Ninjam Server:''' An application that allows the user to run a Ninjam server to '''create your own Ninjam Farm''' (private area) for user jam sessions...<br /><br /></li>

'''STEPS TO INSTALL NINJAM CLIENT (VIA WINE):'''
</li>
<li>'''Go to the Ninjam website and download the client application'''.<br /><br />Here is a link to the Ninjam Download Page: [ [http://ninjam.com/download.php http://ninjam.com/download.php] ]<br /><br /> <li>'''ATTENTION:''' In my situation, I was not able to use wine to install the Ninjam installer, application, so I actually '''downloaded and installed the Windows version of Ninjam on a Windows system'''. I copied the entire NINJAM directory into a USB stick, and then copied over to my Linux system.<br /><br /></li> <li>'''Open a shell terminal window, and run wine to run your Windows (i.e. Ninjam) application'''<br /><br />For example, assume that I copied to the NINJAM directory and its contents to my home directory (/home/msaul). Then I ran the wine application as follows:<br /><br />'''wine /home/msaul/NINJAM/ninjam.exe'''<br /><br /></li> <li>'''After a <u>while</u>, the Ninjam Client application window should appear...'''<br /><br /></li> <li>In the future, '''you can create a shortcut ''' to run this wine application for Ninjam client for convenience...</li>
</ol>
'''NOTE:''' When you are performing, you are creating on ogg file of your performance, which is saved on your computer! This is useful, since '''you may want to test to see if you are recording in the session''', although there may not be other members present. You can always listen to the recording afterwards to confirm you are being heard. '''WARNING: Due to the latency of connections, you need to be patient and listen to the ENTIRE recording, before assuming that you did not record!''' FYI...
You can view (or change) the default location of the saved files. To be completedview or set the default recorded session location, click on the '''options''' menu, then select '''Preferences'''...
