I want to install yEd

(http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html).

It has a .sh installer which first unpacks and then starts a graphical installer.

I have tried sudo and gksudo but so far without success. The installer terminates with:

'Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.'

Try this tutorial: (based on download of Java version, instead of .sh)

yEd on Ubuntu

---- ---- UPDATE ---- ----

The .sh file, once downloaded, runs fine on Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit).

After install, just run this at command line:

~/yEd/yEd &

With a little more effort, I can probably get a Unity icon (and get it docked).
