There are some hobbyist installing OS/2 Warp 4.52 (The latest one provided by IBM) on virtual machines and they also want to experiment with Firefox under it. This is why I wrote this.
This applies for:
- OS/2 Warp 4.52
- Arca Noae Package Manager 1.04
- Firefox 45.9.0
General Notes
Firefox requires a lot of open source libraries (DLLs) that may be hard to install individually, that is why OS/2 also has RPM/YUM which is a package install utility. The easiest way to install RPM/YUM for the moment is installing it while you install Arca Noae Package Manager (ANPM).
ANPM will install RPM/YUM and the ANPM GUI that helps you visually install packages on OS/2. But there seems to be some issues involved on making ANPM run on OS/2 Warp, since ANPM installer is focused on ArcaOS instead of OS/2.
Here I will list the tweaks to make ANPM install and run on OS/2 Warp 4.52.
