+====== Whatpulse (installation guide Ubuntu 14.04) ======
+Official site: [[http://www.whatpulse.org]]
+This guide illustrates the installation steps of the program //Whatpulse// (version 2.4) in linux operating systems based on Ubuntu 14.04.
+Whatpulse is a program that logs the number of keys pressed, the mouse clicks and the network usage. It ranks these numbers on an online statistic, in the program website, here [[http://www.whatpulse.org/stats]].
+To download //Whatpulse// go in the webpage [[http://www.whatpulse.org/downloads]] and download the //generic// linux version (32 or 64 bits depending on your installed operating system)
+Create a directory an extract it, opening a new //terminal//:
+<code bash>
+pippo@pc:~$ mkdir soft
+pippo@pc:~$ cd soft
+pippo@pc:~/soft$ tar xvfz whatpulse-linux-64bit-2.4.tar.gz
+</code>
+Install //Whatpulse// running the script ''setup-input-permissions.sh'' with root privileges (by using the ''sudo'' command):
+<code bash>
+sudo ./setup-input-permissions.sh
+</code>
+**Note:** when the ''setup-input-permissions.sh'' script ask you:
+//"Please enter the username that should get added to the group:"//
+write your user name, in this example ''pippo''.
+To run //Whatpulse// the following libraries must be installed with the ''apt-get'' install command:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install libqtcore4
+sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit4
+sudo apt-get install libqtscript4-core
+sudo apt-get install libqt4-sql
+sudo libqt4-sql-sqlite
+sudo libssl-dev
+</code>
+If you want that //Whatpulse// also logs the network usage, the following packet and command must be typed in a //terminal//, in the ''soft'' directory previously created:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
+sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip ./whatpulse
+</code>
+Now //Whatpulse// can be started with the following command executed in the directory ''soft'':
+<code bash>
+./whatpulse
+</code>
+only the first time you run //Whatpulse//, it must be started in a terminal. For all others computer boots, //Whatpulse// will start automatically at login.
