Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

I can't find any way of how to install it in RPi! Can ony help please?

A

You'll need to compile it from source code. sudo apt-get install libtool m4 gcc cd /tmp wget https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip cd webserver-master ./a

Q

nginx vs cherokee. Which is best ?

A

I think nginx is best because you can always load balance and setup more things. I only see Cherokee being as good as its GUI.

Q

Can Sublime Text be run from a USB key?

A

Yes. Sublime Text may be installed to any location, however it will read and write your settings to %APPDATA%\Sublime Text. You can change this to use a directory on the USB key, by running Sublime Text with the --data flag, for example:

SublimeText.exe --data "E:\Sublime Text Data"

Q

Whether is this available for windows ?

A

yes , it is available for windows.

Q

How to change the font in Sublime text?

A

Select the menu item Preferences/User File Preferences, then add the line:
"font consolas 10"
and save the file. This will change the font 10pt Consolas. You can also add any of these suffixes:
"bold - select the bold version of the font"
"italic - select the italic version of the font"
