apt-get install curl libpcre3

and you need to install grep-gnu from HAM or FAM

Code:

cd MyDocs/

Code:

wget --no-check-certificate http://github.com/marcphemt/scrpts/raw/master/n900bing.sh

than:

Code:

chmod +x n900bing.sh

Code:

mkdir bing

To start the script type:

Code:

cd MyDocs/

and

./n900bing.sh

To add the icon and .desktop to hildon follow this instruction
