Instructions for installing required Java-modules and the GuineaPig
package.

Requirements
The requirements of the system are:
- A SGI workstation or server with IRIX 6.5.x.
IRIX 6.3 or 6.4 may work but it is not guaranteed or supported.
- SGI's Java Development Environment 3.1.1 (Sun JDK 1.1.6).
Other versions may work but it is not guaranteed.
The packages can be installed either with swmgr (Software
Manager) or inst.
Download and Install Java
If Java is not installed on your system or you want to upgrade it,
download and install the Java Execution Environment
and optionally the Java Development Environment for
SGI from SGI's
Software Download page.
Follow the instructions on the page to install Java.
More information about SGI Java it found from
SGI's Java page.
To see whether you have java installed or its version, type:
versions java_eoe java_dev
in a shell window. It will show a subsystem list installed to your
system. If java_eoe is not displayed in the list, you will
need to download and install the Java Execution Environment.
Java Development Environment 3.1.1 (Sun JDK 1.1.6) & Java
Execution Environment 3.1.1 (Sun JRE 1.1.6) are required.
Install GuineaPig System
Install the GuineaPig package with inst or swmgr.
Also install patches if needed.
The GuineaPig system is installed into the /usr/GuineaPig
directory. The directory structure is like this:
/usr/GuineaPig/bin
- Command binaries.
/usr/GuineaPig/lib
- Library files.
/usr/GuineaPig/classes
- Java class files.
/usr/GuineaPig/demos
- Demo and example files.
/usr/GuineaPig/webdocs
- Webdocs & API document files and the System Manual
Configuring GuineaPig (personal settings)
You can optionally add the GuineaPig binaries directory to your shell's path so
that GuineaPig commands can be used without full path names. If the GuineaPig binaries directory is not included in the shell's path, full pathnames to commands need to be used.
For bourne-type shells you could use (for example, in file .profile):
PATH="$PATH:/usr/GuineaPig/bin"
export PATH
or for csh and derivates (tcsh, etc.) (for example, in file .cshrc):
setenv PATH "$PATH:/usr/GuineaPig/bin"
That way the shell can find the GuineaPig commands and the sound
player.
After installing
After the GuineaPig package has been installed, you can see more
