How to run multiple instances of TICKR

See the bottom of TICKR Help.

I have problems running multiple instances of the program "TICKR". However, I found a 'solution' on their website (link top), but it is too advanced for me.

The problem is that I don't know what to with this provided line:

/usr/bin/tickr -instance-id=1 -win_y=200 & /usr/bin/tickr -instance-id=2 -win_y=250

And if I were to figure out how to use it, I would still not know how to run the multiple instances.

Can anyone provide a little easier walkthrough?

You need to enter these lines in a Terminal, which you can open by pressing CtrlAltT.

You can also paste them with CtrlShiftV.

What the command does is calling the TICKR executable two times. The ampersand & will allow you to do so – all in one line.

If you want those instances to survive after the terminal window has been closed, prefix them with nohup:

nohup /usr/bin/tickr -instance-id=1 -win_y=200 & nohup /usr/bin/tickr -instance-id=2 -win_y=250
