PHRS V.phrs-67.8b installation instructions

This document describes how to
  1. Install PHRS V.phrs-67.8b on your workstation
  2. Install the latest version of the ESOFORM package
  3. Run PHRS V.phrs-67.8b

Installing PHRS V.phrs-67.8b

  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.phrs-67.8b 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-phrs-67.8b.tar.gz | tar xovf -
        cd phrs-phrs-67.8b
        setenv PHRS $PWD
        make
        cp -p source/sh/forward-phrs $HOME/.forward

    This will create and populate a directory called phrs-phrs-67.8b

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.phrs-67.8b

To run PHRS V.phrs-67.8b 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.phrs-67.8b 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.
