Paths throughout this document are often written as Linux represents them, with slashes (/) rather
than Windows backslashes (\). The
oware shell command makes any shell subsequently emulate
the bash shell. That means either a slash or backslash accurately represents path separators as they
may appear, depending on whether the
oware command has set the environment to bash
emulation. Most shell commands for this application are available in Windows equivalents
structured to call the emulator, then a bash script. If you have difficulty using a command line
script in Windows, then try it after you have run
oware . In a Linux environment, you can run the
following command before executing any command line scripts:
. /etc/.dsienv
Run command line scripts using -? to see their parameters.
CAUTION:
Do not install to paths with spaces in their names. If you do, the application may not work as expected.
