This is a running document on trying to get the Wikid authentication client running on my Ubuntu system.

1. Download the client from http://www.wikidsystems.com/downloads/token-clients specifically Software token For Mac/Linux
2. First we need to install some dependencies, run: sudo apt-get install ibus
3. From a shell launch the installer with: java -jar {downloaded file}
4. Follow the on screen instructions
5. in the shell goto the installation directory and create a symbolic link from old .jar name to new: ln -s wikidtoken.jar jWiKID.jar
6. Test using the test site: http://www.wikidsystems.com/downloads/simple_reg_form/

*Note: Additional dependences my be required, as my Ubuntu already has a lot of extra applications (Including it's Kubuntu)
