Setup guide

Install the software:
1 Log in to your workstation as root and open a terminal. Go to the application installation directory.
Start the application installation script. Use with the command ./INSTALL_APPLICATION, where SOFTWARE
is the name of the software to be installed, e.g. ./INSTALL_FLAMEPREMIUM. If installing an educational
version, add the switch --edu, e.g. ./INSTALL_FLAMEPREMIUM --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.
2 If earlier installed software is detected you are prompted to choose None for a clean installation of the
software. Choose one of the previous versions to copy its custom resource and setup directories to the
new version.
3 You are prompted to create an application user: choose Yes to create a Linux user account for the
application, or No to run the application with one or more existing user account(s). Use CTRL+click
to select multiple entries.
4 When prompted to configure the software initialisation file (init.cfg), click OK. The software initialisation
file contains general settings the application reads on startup. Check the keywords. They are fully
documented in the User Guide. It is recommended to verify that the following subset of keywords are
correct for your hardware configuration.
■ If installing for the first time, init.cfg file is opened in a text editor. If the file opened in a text
editor, edit and save init.cfg.
■ If upgrading, the old and new init.cfg files are opened on the left and right sides respectively of an
xxdiff window. Each difference between the old and the new files is highlighted. Click the correct
value for each keyword, regardless of whether it is in the left or right panel. Make sure you select a
value for each highlighted difference. Then open the File menu and choose Save as Right. After the
file is saved, close xxdiff.

5 If any changes are detected in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, you are prompted to configure this file.
The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file contains specific parameters for the graphics display, tablet, and other external
devices. It is customized prior to shipping to reflect your configuration. Editing this file is risky and
can result in an inability to launch the user interface and other problems. Back up the file before
changing it. Use xxdiff to move entries from one version of the file to another.
■ To keep the old configuration settings, when the file appears in the xxdiff editor, in the Global
menu, choose Select Left, and then, in the File menu, choose Save as Right. If prompted to overwrite,
click OK.
