B. Analyzer software Broke when I installed module

I recently downloaded Bible Analyzer, and upon inspection, realized that I really needed the Strong's/Interlinear module(forgot what its called.) I installed the module, and now Bible Analyzer won't open. The main screen pops up, and it flashes some message about creating an index, and then the program shuts down.

I am unsure what to do, but now I am invested in making this software work, since I payed 5 bucks for the module. Oh, and I am an Ubuntu newb.

Running Lubuntu Desktop on top of 12.04

With some added modules Bible Analyzer needs to create index when the modules are first used. Linux has very strict file permissions so after you add new modules you need to do one of two things:

1. You can try to run Bible Analyzer once with root user permissions so it can build the indexes. To do this just open Terminal and type in,

sudo bibleanalyzer

and press the Enter key (it will ask for your password).

2. If the above doesn't work, open Terminal and enter this line,

sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/bibleanalyzer/modules

Press Enter and enter your password and press Enter. Then try to start Bible Analyzer.

This will change the permissions on the files in only the Bible Analyzer Modules folder so the indexes can be written.

We will have a better workaround for this issue in v4.8.

Thank you. The first command worked.
