Setup guide

NOTE If you are installing an educational version, start the initialization script
by typing ./INSTALL_<application_name> --edu, for example
./INSTALL_SMOKE --edu
The installation script verifies the installation packages and checks your
system for previously installed versions of the application. This process
may take a few minutes.
6 If you are upgrading from a previous version of the application, earlier
versions are detected and the installer asks you to select one of those
versions. Do one of the following:
■ Click None if you would like a clean installation of the application.
■ Click one of the previous versions if you want to copy its custom
resource and setup directories to the new version.
7 The installation script asks you if you want to create an application user:
■ Answer Yes if you want to create a Linux user account for the
application, or No if you want to run the application with an existing
user account.
■ If you answered No, a list of all the existing users in the system is
displayed. Select the users accounts you plan to use the application
with.
TIP You can use CTRL+click to select multiple entries.
The application icon is placed on the Linux Desktop of the selected
users.
8 When prompted to configure the software initialisation file (init.cfg),
click OK.
The software initialisation file contains general settings the application
reads on startup.
■ If you are installing the application for the first time, the init.cfg file
appears in a text editor.
■ If you are upgrading the application, the old (previous) and new
init.cfg files appear beside each other in an xxdiff window. The left
panel displays the old init.cfg file. The right panel displays the new
init.cfg that is installed with your application. The vertical bar on the
right side indicates where differences exist between the two panels.
