2. Setup and Configuration
2.1. Unpacking the archives
Under Linux:
tar xvfz fli4l-3.10.1.tar.gz
If this does not work, try the following:
gzip -d < fli4l-3.10.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
If you unpack the current version into a directory which already contains fli4l files from a
previous installation, you should execute mkfli4l.sh -c:
cd fli4l-3.10.1
sh mkfli4l.sh -c
However, we recommend to use a fresh directory for a new version as you can easily take
over the configuration with a file comparing tool.
If you use a MS Windows system, you can extract the compressed tar archive e.g. with
WinZip. You have to check, however, that all files are extracted together with their corre-
sponding directories (there is a WinZip setting to achieve this). Also, you have to disable the
so-called “Smart TAR CR conversion” under Settings Configuration, as some important files
are corrupted during extraction otherwise.
Alternatively, we recommend using the OpenSource application 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.
org/) which is as powerful as WinZip.
