1. General System Requirements |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
All parts of w2do package are standalone scripts written in Perl and as |
| 20 |
such, they should be platform independent. However, working installation of |
| 21 |
Perl 5 is required in order to run these scripts. If you are using one of |
| 22 |
Unix-like operating systems, it is highly probable that you have it already |
| 23 |
installed. If you are using Windows, you can download it free of charge |
| 24 |
from <http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/>. |

2. Installing on Unix Systems |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The easiest way to install w2do on Unix operating system (e.g. Linux, vari- |
| 30 |
ous *BSD systems etc.) is to use the existing Makefile. As a root, get into |
| 31 |
the src/ directory in the w2do source package and type: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
make install |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
This will install all executables and their corresponding man pages to the |
| 36 |
predefined /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/man respectively. If these |
| 37 |
locations do not satisfy your needs, you can either edit the relevant part |
| 38 |
of the Makefile, or you can change the prefix directly on the command line: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
make prefix=/some/location install |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Similarly, typing |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
make uninstall |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
or, if you have previously changed the destination directory, |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
make prefix=/some/location uninstall |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
will completely remove all installed files. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
On the other hand, you can also run the scripts directly from their present |
| 53 |
location or copy the content of src/ directory somewhere in the $PATH your- |
| 54 |
self. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
3. Installing on Windows |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
No special installation is required in order to run w2do on Microsoft |
| 60 |
Windows. In your favourite command line interpreter (e.g. cmd.exe), simply |
| 61 |
get into the src/ directory of the w2do source package and type: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
perl w2do [options] |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
etc. Try `--help' switch to get information about the usage. |
