Software Distribution Guide
6. Software Installation
6.1 Create a new user account “mar345”
You must be super-user to do this. You can either use a GUI (e.g. kuser from the KDE package, yast1 or yast2 from the
SuSE Linux distribution, or a terminal program like useradd or adduser.
Suggested home directory: /home/mar345
Default login shell: /bin/tcsh or /bin/bash (highly recommended)
6.2 Login as user mar345
6.3 Copy contents of distribution to home directory
6.3.1 Tar le
If the software distribution has been distributed as compressed tar le (e.g. le mar345dtb.dist.tgz), place it into the
new user’s home directory and unpack its contents. by just typing:
tar xvfz mar345dtb.dist.tgz
Note, that the tar le may contain or not contain detector specic data in subdirectory “tables”.
6.3.2 CD-Rom or DVD
If the software distribution has been distributed as compressed tar le (e.g. le mar345dtb.dist.tgz), place it into the
new user’s home directory and unpack its contents. by just typing:
Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM reader. If there is an automounter, the CD-Rom is going to be mounted automatically
(on RedHat usually as /mnt/cdrom, on SuSE Linux usually as /media/cdrom). Otherwise, on many systems, users are
allowed to mount CD-Roms by just typing:
mount /mnt
where /PATH can be /mnt, /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/dvd, /media/dvd or /media/cdrom.
If this doesn’t work, the super-user has to do something like:
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt (Linux)
When successful, the contents of the CD-ROM should be copied into the login directory of the account mar345.To do
so, as user “mar345” type:
/PATH/mar_install
The installation script chooses reasonable defaults that may be accepted or modied. It is important that the contents
of the CD-Rom are really copied to the login directory of the new user since the distribution contains customized
startup les (.cshrc, etc.) that should reside in the login directory.
