Installing NeXtMidas
Installing on Unix
Set Environment Variables
|
|
- Shell Setup:
- NeXtMidas runs with the C-shell (either csh or tcsh) and Bash shell.
- Follow the instructions below to set up the environment variables in
the shell of your choosing.
- This follows X-Midas practice.
- Environment Variables:
- Set
JAVAHOME to point to the Java installation
directory (this is usually under /opt/ ). For example:
C-Shell: setenv JAVAHOME /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04
Bash: export JAVAHOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04
- Set the
NMROOT to point to the NeXtMidas install
directory. For example:
C-Shell: setenv NMROOT /home/midas/nxm220
Bash: export NMROOT=/home/midas/nxm220
- Alias
nmstart to simplify starting NeXtMidas:
C-Shell: alias nmstart source $NMROOT/os/unix/nmstart
Bash: alias nmstart='source $NMROOT/os/unix/nmstart.sh'
Use single quotes rather than double quotes when setting this alias
so that any change to NMROOT will be automatically
picked up next time you use nmstart .
- Many users also alias
nms to nmstart :
C-Shell: alias nms nmstart
Bash: alias nms=nmstart
- To make life easy these can all be set in
.cshrc
for C-Shell and .bashrc for Bash. For
example:
C-Shell:
setenv JAVAHOME /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04
setenv NMROOT /home/midas/nxm220
alias nmstart source $NMROOT/os/unix/nmstart
alias nms nmstart
Bash:
export JAVAHOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04
export NMROOT=/home/midas/nxm220
alias nmstart='source $NMROOT/os/unix/nmstart.sh'
alias nms=nmstart
