ReSHAPE Linux instructions
This disk/file contains a binary version of the ReSHAPE package designed to execute on a LINUX workstation.
This file is a gzip'ed tar file.
Documentation can be found on installation disc or obtained over the WEB from www.advea.com
Installation
Move or copy file "reshape_x86.tar.gz" to the LINUX directory where you intend to install ReSHAPE. This could be a system directory such as "/usr/apps" or your home directory.
Assuming the user home directory is the intended installation directory and that the file "reshape_x86.tar.gz" has been transfered to the home directory, then the following commands will extract and install ReSHAPE.
cd ~
tar xvzf reshape_x86.tar.gz
cd reshape_x86
chmod 700 set_permissions
./set_permissions
ReSHAPE has now been installed.
To execute ReSHAPE you need to run the script file named "reshapegui", stored in the reshape_x86 directory just installed.
WARNING: do not move the script file "reshape" away from directory reshape_x86, its position is used as a basis for accessing other ReSHAPE files.
The best way to make ReSHAPE available to one or more users is to establish a link or alias to the script file. For example use the command "alias reshape ~/reshape_x86/reshapegui"
