Installing Habanero under Unix is manual. The readme file included with the Habanero distribution defines the specific steps. A summary of the installation procedure follows.

1.   Install or locate the Java VM

Install and/or define the path to your Java VM. For example: /usr/local/bin/java

    Java Linux            

 
2.   Install the Habanero class files

• Download Habanero

• Uncompress and extract the Habanero files from the .tar.Z file.
          For example: /usr/local/habanero

• Copy the habanero.rsc directory to your HOME directory. Your HOME directory is the directory you appear in when you login to the system. You can get the path name by using the following commands: 1) cd     2) pwd

3.   Create a script file
Habanero uses a shell script to define its resources and launch the Java VM with the correct Habanero class file and optional command line paramenters. The next section provides a couple examples of these shell scripts.

A sample script for the Habanero Client

#!/bin/ksh
PATH=$PATH:/java/sun/jdk1.1.6/bin
CLASSPATH=.:/java/sun/jdk1.1.6/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/habanero:/usr/local/habanero/apps:
/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/jgl3.1.0.jar:/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/voyager.jar:
/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/swingall.jar:/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/x509v1.jar:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/java/sun/jdk1.1.6/lib/sparc/green_threads:/usr/local/habanero/rsc/lib/Solaris:
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

java Habanero

 
A sample script for the Habanero Server

#!/bin/ksh
PATH=$PATH:/java/sun/jdk1.1.6/bin
CLASSPATH=.:/java/sun/jdk1.1.6/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/habanero:/usr/local/habanero/apps:
/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/jgl3.1.0.jar:/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/voyager.jar:
/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/swingall.jar:/usr/local/habanero/rsc/jars/x509v1.jar:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/habanero/rsc/lib/Solaris:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

java HabaneroServer 

 
4.   Configure the Habanero resource (habanero.rsc) files

Using a text editor edit the user.props file located in the habanero.rsc directory. This directory should be located in your HOME directory. The parameters   habanero.home   and   dir.record   should reflect the location of the Habanero files and the path to directory where you want to write recorded data.

For example:

   habanero.home=/usr/local/habanero2.0
   
   dir.record=/usr/local/smith/habanero.rsc/capture

 
5.   Configure ID data in Habanero Client

The User ID area of NCSA Habanero, allows users to customize their 'identification' or what other session participants can see about them, whenever they are in a session. To find out more about how to customize the 'identification' of a user, check out the section in the Habanero Environment Properties regarding the myself file.
