User Guide

When the CD-ROM startup window has opened, the first thing to do is

to select the language in which you want to work. The help texts and ad

ditional documentation will be installed in that language. In the next

window, click on the Install program item, and then simply follow the

setuproutine.

You will be asked for the license disk as the installation proceeds. Keep it

tohand.

The program must be licensed the first time it is called. Enter the path

to the license file (usually A:\license.key) and your personal installation

code, as noted on the EAGLE User License Certificate, into the

EAGLEProductRegistration window.

The program will then start, and will show the license data in the Con

trol Panel. You can display the license data at any time in the EAGLE

ControlPanelbymeansofthe Help/ProductInformation menu.

Linux

You can either use the RPM or the TGZ archive to install EAGLE on

your system. The following assumes that you have mounted the

EAGLE CD-ROM as /cdrom, and that you are logged in to your system

asrootuser.

InstallingtheRPMArchive:

Use rpm toinstallthepackage:

rpm -i /cdrom/english/linux/install/eagle-4.xxe-1.i386.rpm

By default this package installs to /opt/eagle, but you can relocate it to a

different directory using rpm’s -prefix option. Note that a shell script

will be executed that installs a symbolic link to the executable file in

/usr/local/bin, and also copies the manual page to /usr/local/man/man1.

Youcanuserpm’s -noscripts optiontoavoidthis.

Enterthecommand

/opt/eagle/bin/eagle

to invoke the product registration (you need to have write access

to that

directoryfordoingthis!).

InstallingtheTGZArchive:

Createanewdirectoryonyoursystem(e.g. /opt/eagle):

mkdir/opt/eagle

cd/opt/eagle

Use tar toextractthearchive:

tarxvzf/cdrom/english/linux/install/eagle4.xxe.tgz
