A.1 Network Installation

This section describes the network installation of compressed tar files on Unix systems. Current disk allocation requirements: Approximately 100 MBytes which includes the Software and several supporting databases (35 Mbytes for only IDL and FORTRAN software or 25 Mbytes for only IDL software).

1. Determine which user will own the Yohkoh software and database area. Some sites prefer to create a special ``Yohkoh'' account for management but this is not an installation requirement. Log into the appropriate account.

2. Determine the path where you want to locate the Yohkoh Software. Let's call this path yparent. This pathname should be an nfs name per /etc/fstab if the software is to be shared among machines. Of course, the owner of the Yohkoh Software (determined in preceding step) requires write access to yparent.

3. Transfer the boot-up script via anonymous FTP. % mkdir -p yparent/ysw/swmaint/tar # local directory for tar files% cd yparent/ysw/swmaint/tar # move there% ftp 133.74.8.100 # user=ftp, passwd=name@nodeFTP> cd pub/swmaint/tar # remote location (isass0)FTP> get ys_install # boot up scriptFTP> quit
4. Install the software and standard database using the script ys_install. The defaults are usually ok, but see script header for available options. Use the /HELP switch to get updated instructions and the latest Yohkoh Software and Database descriptions without installing anything. (current directory is still = yparent/ysw/swmaint/tar). % csh ys_install # INSTALL, take defaults% csh ys_install [OPTIONS] # INSTALL, use 1 or more options% csh ys_install /HELP # No installation, Help Information
