How to install Darwin LINUX. **************************** If you did not directly download Darwin by ftp or http, you will receive 1 mail message. Either way, you will have 1 tar ball containing all of what is necessary for the installation. If you received a email, it labeled with subject: Darwin Linux (While in normal Unix mail, you can save these messages with the command s xa, etc.). Put the tar file where you want Darwin to reside. (Maybe you want it in the /pub/local/ or usr/local directory so that everyone can access it. You may need your administrator to do this) For example: cp linux.intel.darwin.tar ~// or cp linux.intel.darwin.tar /pub/local/ Change to this directory and load Darwin with the tar command: cd tar -xpf linux.intel.darwin.tar You should now have a directory called linux What are these files? bin/ binaries darwin3.0_release_notes release notes darwin.instr instructions ipcsend* ProductionCompiled date of compilation README darwin,darwin.d,darwinipc scripts to run the binaries in bin samp.session A sample session to pipe into Darwin executed.samp.session The answers to the sample session enolaseTEST A test data file to be used with samp.session lib The Darwin libraries make it all work Now you are ready to execute Darwin. If you run ./darwin < samp.session you should see the exactly same sample session as it is in the executed.samp.session. So that you can invoke Darwin from anywhere, and so that Darwin can find all it's required files, edit your .tcshrc (or whatever shell your working with) by adding Darwin to the path: e.g setenv PATH ${PATH}: Also add a path to the msa directory: e.g. setenv PATH ${PATH}:/msa If you place your lib file in an alternative location, you should do: darwin -l /lib so that Darwin finds its library and loads/works correctly. You may want to make the above line an alias or a command in your execution paths. Otherwise, don't worry about it. Please rememebr to read any release notes that may accompany a distribution! They might affect your work drastically. Remember to add yourself to the Darwin Mailing list for updates, etc. http://www.lists.inf.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/darwinlist Please report any problems (or successes!) to darwin.comments@inf.ethz.ch Happy Darwin'ing, Gaston H. Gonnet and all the folks at the CBRG.
