Daylight Summer School 1998, July 28-30, St. John's College, Santa Fe, NM
NOTE: Due to limited local disk space at Summer School
1998, we will not be able to install 4.61 or large databases on the
user workstations. If you wish to complete this exercise,
ask the instructor about using the server machine.
Daylight Worksheet - Installing the Daylight distribution
The Daylight distribution is supplied as a tar-gzip archive. Thus
to unpack and install the archive, "gzip -d" and tar must be used.
- Insert the Daylight software CDROM (4.51 or 4.61). The operating
system should automatically mount the CDROM.
- Find the CDROM directory. Normally on SGIs it is /CDROM, on
Suns it is a directory under /cdrom. Identify the desired
archive, either the "heavy" or "light" package.
- Find or create an installation directory and cd to it.
Unpack and install the distribution as follows (modify path
as appropriate):
gzip -dc /CDROM/day451-sgi5-lite.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Daylight Worksheet - Installing a Daylight database
Daylight databases are supplied as tar-gzip archives. Thus
to unpack and install an archive, "gzip -d" and tar must be used.
