A1195 (White Bezel) - OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.4 Tiger to 10.7 Lion)

A1208 (White Bezel) - OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.4 Tiger to 10.7 Lion)

A1224 (Silver Bezel) - OSX 10.10 Yosemite (10.5 Leopard to 10.11 El Capitan)

A1418 (Silverback) - OSX 10.14 Mojave (10.8 Mountain Lion to 10.15 Catalina)

During install, split into 2 partitions. Format partition 1 as AFS or HFS. Format partition 2 as Fat32 (Apple refers to Fat32 as just FAT).
Install the next to most recent version of OSX instead of the most recent onto partition 1.
Shut down, then hold option after pressing the power button to choose the startup drive to select the Lubuntu install USB drive.

Install Lubuntu

Boot to the Lubuntu USB drive and choose Try Lubuntu.
Once loaded, click the start menu -> System Tools -> KDE Partition Manager.
In the partition manager, select the Fat32 partition and click delete. Then click apply and close the partition manager.
Double click the install Lubuntu icon from the desktop.
The user name should be terminal (lowercase). For computer name, I used "terminal-MODELMMYY" (ex. terminal-A11950924)
Make sure to select the option to not require login when creating the user.

Setting up Lubuntu with the iAccess software

Copy files

Create a new folder on the desktop named temp (all lowercase).
Copy the contents of \\SOHBACKUP\Programs\2024-Terminals to the new folder you created.
- Alternately you can copy the whole "Terminals" folder to the desktop, right click the folder and rename it to temp.

Run setup script

Open the terminal
- For Lubuntu 18, it is LXTerminal: Start -> System Tools -> LXTerminal
- For Lubuntu 24, it is QTerminal: Start -> System Tools -> QTerminal
At the terminal prompt, type the following:

cd ~/Desktop/temp

sudo chmod +x install*.sh

For 32-Bit systems (A1195 & A1208): sudo ./install32.sh

For 64-Bit systems (A1224 & A1418): sudo ./install64.sh

This installs prerequisites*, JAVA (1.8.0_381), ODBC (2.3.12), IBM iAccess (v1r9), and other configuration files. It should ask you to answer a few questions once it starts installing the IBM software. Answer them all Yes.
