Novell iFolder 3.7 requires the Mono® framework for Linux. Mono is a development platform for running and developing modern applications. Based on the ECMA/ISO Standards, Mono can run existing programs that target the .NET or Java frameworks. The Mono Project is an open source effort led by Novell and is the foundation for many new applications. For information about Mono, see the Mono Project Web site.
The required version of Mono is included in the .iso files. Mono is installed automatically as a dependency of iFolder during the install of the iFolder enterprise server or the Web Access server.
The iFolder clients for Linux and Macintosh also require Mono 1.2.x. Linux and Macintosh users must install both iFolder and Mono packages. For information, see Getting Started
in the Novell iFolder 3.7 Cross-Platform User Guide.
Make sure to use the required version of Mono. If you have a different version of Mono on your server, uninstall it before you install iFolder.
Novell iFolder 3.7 supports only the version of Mono included in its install software. If you need to upgrade Mono for another reason, please check our online documentation to see if we explicitly support that version and to learn any necessary steps to make the upgrade work correctly. For information, see the latest version of the online documentation on the Novell iFolder 3.x Documentation Web site.
