I also raced through the first install on ubuntu and selected the default 30 day trial version instead of the non-commercial version   There is a blog on the syntevo site that addresses this issue   After unpacking the tar file I had a dir called smartgithg-4 0 3  I moved this folder to my home directory and renamed it smartgit  After running   bin smartgithg sh  another folder was created called  smartgit  note the   prefix    I simply deleted the  smartgit folder  the dir tree with all the  xml files  and ran the   bin smarthg sh script again  The whole install process is repeated  Select the non commercial option when it appears
