TSN.1 Editor Installation Guide for UNIX

This guide gives you step-by-step instructions for installing the TSN.1 Editor on UNIX machines. Please refer to the Tutorial for further information on using the Editor.

1. Install the Editor

To install the TSN.1 Editor on a UNIX machine (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, HP-UX, etc), use the generic Unix package. The generic UNIX package is a gzip'ed tar file. The standard GNU utilities tar and gzip are required. To install the Editor under /usr/local, for example, type the following commands at the prompt: 

> cd /usr/local
> gzip -cd tsne-v2.0-unix.tar.gz | tar xvf -

The generic UNIX package assumes that you already have a Java Runtime Environment (J2RE 1.5.0 or above). If not, follow the instructions below to download one from SUN website or obtain one from your system vendor.

  1. Go to the download page at SUN website.
  2. Scroll to the section Download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 21 and click the "Download" button.
  3. Select the appropriate download pacakage for your platform.

After you install the Java Runtime Environment, add the Java installation directory (for example, /usr/local/jre1.5.0_x/bin) to the front of your PATH so that you can run the "java" command from any directory.
