How to run the CDK
In order to run the CDK you can launch the script run_opera_cdk.sh that you find in the bin/ directory. The script simply set some environment variables needed to run Opera and run the binary included in the bin/ folder. The environment variable needed by opera are the following:
- OPERA_HOME
Location of the "home" folder (usually called opera_home). Opera must have r/w access to this folder. - OPERA_DIR
Location of the "dir" folder containing readonly configuration file and resources for Opera. - OPERA_FONTS
Location of the "fonts" folder, containing the fonts file used by Opera. - OPERA_WIDGETS
Location of the "widget" folder where widget packages are stored. Opera will check on start-up this folder,install new widgets (if any) and uninstall removed widgets.
Important: don't set this variable to $OPERA_HOME/widgets
