UNIX Installation

The user needs only to extract compressed package file (see download section) inside the installation directory. This operation will generate several files inside this directory (Do not edit any of them).

Afterwards, the user must be sure that this directory is pointed by the path and dynamic library enviroment variables ($path and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Moreover, the user should set the variable $EDPATT_DIRECTORY to the installation directory.

There are several ways to do this (here goes some examples):

Local account install
Edit your .cshrc and write the following lines at the end.

setenv EDPATT_DIRECTORY /home/user_name/EdPatt
if ($?LD_LIBRARY_PATH) then
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${EDPATT_DIRECTORY}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
else
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${EDPATT_DIRECTORY}
endif
alias edpatt '/home/user_name/EdPatt/edpatt \!*'

Local machine install I
Ask your root administrator to expand the package at /usr/bin/EdPatt/ and adjust all accounts to have $EDPATT_DIRECTORY and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly set. Then, he can create a symbolic link from /usr/bin/EdPatt/edpatt to /usr/bin/edpatt.

Local machine install II
Ask your root administrator to expand the package at /usr/bin/EdPatt/ and create the script file /usr/bin/edpatt like this:

#!/bin/csh
setenv EDPATT_DIRECTORY /usr/bin/EdPatt
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${EDPATT_DIRECTORY}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
exec /usr/bin/EdPatt/edpatt $*
