Untar:
After downloading CAVEGui to
any directory for example /usr/tmp/cavegui, type at the command prompt:
$gunzip CAVEGUI-x.x.x.tar.gz (where x.x.x is the version
number)
$tar xvf CAVEGUI-x.x.x.tar
$cd CAVEGUI-.x.x.x
if downloading the source files, change directory to the
src directory and copy the proper makefile to Makefile i.e. for Linux
$cd ./src
$cp Makefile.linux Makefile
$make
otherwise, continue on to the next section: Install
Install:
1. put cavegui in a user account
2. rename caverc.cavegui to .caverc (found in the ./bin
directory)
3. edit the host name in .caverc according to the comments
in .caverc
4. copy .caverc to the top directory in the user account,
usually $HOME if there is no existing .caverc. otherwise, edit the existing
.caverc to include the necessary CAVEGui configurations
$mkdir -p $HOME/bin/cavegui
$cp cavegui $HOME/bin/cavegui
$mv ./bin/caverc.cavegui .caverc && cp ./bin/.caverc $HOME
NOTE: both the CAVE application and CAVEGui are required
to read the same .caverc file, so it is a good idea to install the .caverc
in the $HOME directory.
