===Running Picard on Linux===

On Linux, make sure to set your BROWSER environment variable to point to your browser. Mine looks like:

<pre>BROWSER="firefox '%s' &" </pre>

If your application freezes when the browser is active, make sure you have the & at the end of the BROWSER variable. If your browser takes you to a wrong page, make sure you have single quotes around your %s (e.g. '%s' ).

Also be sure to check out [[Picard Linux Install|PicardLinuxInstall]] page for more help.
