Nike Plus App and Linux


I would like to sync my watch with the Nike app but i am unsure if it is compatible with Linux. Is it compatible and what do i have to do to get it to work?

Thanks for your help

Do you mean mount this https://secure-nikeplus.nike.com/plu...s/sport_watch/

on This? http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/

I think you need to be way more descriptive and informative on what you are trying to do.
Because 33+ words won't cover it. Nobody will respond IMO. You are lucky I am saying something.

Howdy and Welcome. That is the best I can do for you presently.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

More information would be nice but is not compatible and does not work with wine (An interface so windows programs run under linux)

ok sorry let me try again. i have been using windows for years and my brother talked me into trying linux. on win i plug the nike + gps watch into the usb port and download my run. then i can go to the nike + website and see where ive been, my heart rate ect. its actually very interesting, at least to me. i have done some reading on the compatability of the watch and linux. you could get linux to recognise the watch but it took alot of jumping through hoops to get it done. the thread was also from 2012 and i was hoping it had been figured out by now.

if none of this makes any sense im sorry ive been using linux for 4 days and im not computer lingo literate

Can you post a link to that thread? I have found nothing that indicates there is support for linux.

i think that should answer your question.

but, you can always try wine.
