PHRS V.70.1 installation instructions

This document describes how to
  1. Install PHRS V.70.1 on your workstation
  2. Install the latest version of the ESOFORM package
  3. Run PHRS V.70.1

Installing PHRS V.70.1

  1. Change directory to where you want to install the PHRS system.

  2. If in that directory there is no sub-directory called phrs-data, you'll need to
    1. retrieve the PHRS data package
    2. Execute:
          gunzip -c phrs-data.tar.gz | tar xovf -

  3. Retrieve the PHRS V.70.1 Java and Tcl/Tk delivery package

  4. If necessary, retrieve the Tcl/Tk and Java binary packages for Solaris into the same directory:

  5. At this point you should have several gzipped tar files in your current directory.
    Execute:
        gunzip -c phrs-70.1.tar.gz | tar xovf -
        cd phrs-70.1
        setenv PHRS $PWD
        make
        cp -p source/sh/forward-phrs $HOME/.forward

    This will create and populate a directory called phrs-70.1

At this point you may remove the gzipped tar files.

Installing the latest ESOFORM package

Note that the ESOFORM package can only be installed on top of a valid PHRS installation.
Execute:
    cd $PHRS
    make install-esoform PERIOD=<period>

You may be required to enter an anonymous FTP password at some point (usually a valid e-mail address).

Running PHRS V.70.1

To run PHRS V.70.1 you will need to set up some shell variables (you may wish to include these initializations in your ~/.tcshrc file): You can then start PHRS V.70.1 simply by issuing the phrs command. You should then see a printout similar to the following:

Starting PHRS with:
PHRS: /home/users/amchavan/work/phrs-66.0
... more lines ...

by which you can verify if the shell variables are properly set.
