Yes! JForum is not tied to any specific operating system.

You install it on Linux the same way you install it on any operating system.

You can review the install instructions to see how to do it, and what you need (i.e. an app server like Tomcat).

So when you say you are running "startup.sh" and nothing is happening, what do you mean? Does the Tomcat service start? You can verify this by hitting http://yourservername.com:8080 to see if there is a Tomcat page displayed. If you do see it, you should be able to add the install context path after that for your JForum install (i.e. http://yourservername.com/8080/JForum-2.x.x.x.) to get the JForum page.

If you are getting "can't start" or other error messages, do you have the correct permissions to start tomcat (i.e. root or in the tomcat group)?

Or, are you having problems even getting Tomcat installed? If this is the problem, you will need to provide more info on which Linux distro you are using, and you will need root access to install Tomcat.
