Eos installation

Installation of Eos

First, install Eos on the personal computer of each user, and perform environment setup. For the general installation method, see the manual of the installation method. For Windows users, programs are executed on Ubuntu in a virtual environment, using VMwarePlayer. VMwarePlayer is currently a virtual computer environment usable for free as individual use. For Mac users, programs can be executed on OS-X as it is by copying images to the Application folder. If program operation is not compatible with OS-X, an execution environment (Xcode/XQuatz) is necessary. For the details, refer to the manual of installation method. In each case, environmental variables are set up in Eos as Eos_env so that the execution environment is set up. Read in this file like below when executing programs:

$ source Eos_env 

Otherwise, change .profile as follows so that the environmental variables can be read out of .profile in the home directory: First, save the files defined by Eos_env in the home directory as .Eos_env. After that, add the command below to .profile.

$ test -r $HOME/.Eos_env && $HOME/.Eos_env 

This is also possible by executing eosEnvSet. The first dots of file names are not indispensable because they are attached to make those files invisible from the ls command on UNIX. Those files can be used without consideration by making them invisible, to avoid them from being deleted by mistake. On UNIX, many setup files are prepared as invisible files/directories.
