How to Install ORBeline ----------------------- These are the instructions for installing ORBeline on a POSIX compliant system (SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.3, OSF/1) and initializing your ORBeline environment. Before beginning you need to retrieve orbeline.tar.z and orb_doc.tar.z from the ftp site (the names might vary somewhat depending on the release and platform). You will also need gzip to uncompress the files (gzip is available from prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory pub/gnu in the file gzip-1.2.4.tar). 1. Create or choose the directory where you would like to install ORBeline: (e.g. /usr/local/orbeline - this directory name will be used throughout this document to illustrate the examples.) 2. Copy the gzip-ed file into the directory. If you do not yet have gzip it is available from prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory pub/gnu in the file gzip-1.2.4.tar. prompt> cp orbeline.tar.z /usr/local/orbeline 3. Go to the directory where you would like to install ORBeline. prompt> cd /usr/local/orbeline 4. Uncompress the tar file. prompt> gzip -d orbeline.tar.z 5. Untar the file. prompt> tar xvf orbeline.tar 6. Run the Install script that was copied into your current directory as a result of the previous step. This script will create the proper directory structure for the ORBeline release and install all ORBeline header files, libraries and binaries in the proper directories. prompt> ./Install 7. Copy the gzip-ed documentation tar file to the doc subdirectory. prompt> cp orb_doc.tar.z /usr/local/orbeline/doc 8. Uncompress the documentation. prompt> gzip -d orb_doc.tar.z 9. Untar the documentation. prompt> tar xvf orb_doc.tar 10. Get a license file. Call PostModern at (415) 967-6169 or send e-mail to info@pomoco.com. We will then e-mail you a license file. 11. Install the license file. prompt> mv license.dat /usr/local/orbeline/adm 12. You now need to set the ORBELINE environment variable to point to the directory where the license file resides. If you are using csh the following should be typed in, otherwise the equivalent in your shell should be used. prompt> setenv ORBELINE /usr/local/orbeline/adm Your ORBeline installation is now complete. Remember to update your environment variables so that you can easily use the ORBeline binaries. We advise you to update your .cshrc file as well so that your environment is properly initialized every time you login. These are variables that need to be updated: Environment Variable Value -------------------- ---------------------------------------- PATH /usr/local/orbeline/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/orbeline/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORBELINE /usr/local/orbeline/adm Enjoy ORBeline!
