Hi Matthias,

Thanks for answering.

I haven't looked into Livecode Server. When you say I could run livecode scripts directly from shell, does that means scripts, but not stacks?

Is Livecode Server easier to install on a 'headless' system? Is there somewhere I should look to find explanation of differences/pros/cons of Server versus IDE editions?

thank you,

Ben

Ben,

is there a reason why you do not install/use Livecode Server instead of 
Livecode IDE on your system?

So I want to install LC on a headless - i.e. no GUI, access over SSH - Ubuntu 
20.

(Then I'll be using it to run a particular stack on a cron job.)

I've done this a long time ago with a standalone - but in this case I'd rather 
be able to do it with a stack.

The only thing that I know about is "-ui" but I'm not even far enough along to 
make use of this.

My first question is what's the best way to install it? Do I download the installer, e.g. 
"LiveCodeCommunityInstaller-9_6_1-Linux.x64", move it to the server and run it 
there? Or is that going to be a GUI installer?

Are there options I need to know about like where it should go?

And then are there tips about where I put my stacks, how to see error or 
debugging output, how the stack reads command line parameters etc?

Any and all advice welcome - especially of course "go and read this guide over here 
you idiot".

TIA,

Ben
