LC Installation Guidelines
LC is distributed as a gzipped tar-format archive file.
Before proceeding, go to the installation directory
(the directory into which you'd like to install lc).
This may be your home directory, or possibly a common
application directory like /usr or /opt/apps.
To unarchive the distribution, use a command like:
gzcat lc.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
This procedure creates an lc directory, which contains
the distribution contents.
The contents is organized into the subdirectories described below.
The bin directory is the most important, because it
contains the LC executables.
The other directories give supplementary information for integrating
LC into a Unix environment.
- bin - the executables
-
If using the Modules ** package, then see below.
Otherwise, add a command like
setenv PATH $PATH:LC_INSTALL_DIR/bin
(where LC_INSTALL_DIR is the installation directory for LC)
to your .login file.
- man - command-level documentation
-
If using the Modules ** package, then see below.
Otherwise, add a command like
setenv MANPATH $MANPATH:LC_INSTALL_DIR/man
(where LC_INSTALL_DIR is the installation directory for LC)
to your .login file.
- modulefiles - module configuration files
-
This information can be used by the Modules **
package to set up the user environment before using LC.
Typical usage is:
module use LC_INSTALL_DIR/modulefiles
module load lc
(where LC_INSTALL_DIR is the installation directory for LC).
- app-defaults - X Window System configuration files
-
If you wish to override the default application resources
for LC, you can modify these files, and use them by
adding a command like
setenv XAPPLRESDIR LC_INSTALL_DIR/app-defaults
(where LC_INSTALL_DIR is the installation directory for LC)
to your .login file.
(** Modules is a Unix software package for user
environment management, but is not included with LC)
