On Unix (SunOS and Linux)

Other software

Horus depends upon/coorporates with several other software packages. The packages are installed via softpkg, so make sure you use softpkg (or find your own solution :-)

To find all packages, insert the following before the softpkg command is executed (note that this example is for .cshrc):

setenv PACKAGEPATH ${HOME}/pkg:/home/horus/pkg:/usr/local/pkg

Put the following packages in your .pkgrc. Make sure they are before the DEFAULT package otherwise you will end up with the wrong compiler.

gcc-2.95.3
jdk130
jdk131
jmf211
jtc1014
orbacus405
jidlscript01
jpeg6b
horus
oracle817
resetclasspath

Linux users may want to install the software packages on their local disc. The source of all package is in /home/horus/third.

The release

The latest Horus release can be obtained from http://www.science.uva.nl/~horus/release/ or /home/horus/release. You need only to extract the horus_"number"_src.zip file that contains the Horus source code. In this document we assume this zip-file to be extracted in ${HOME}/horus/src.

Configuration

You have to set one environment variable:

setenv HXBUILD Release

In case you use Matlab you have to have a directory ${HOME}/matlab.

mkdir ${HOME}/matlab

Copy the classpath.txt file to ${HOME}/matlab. The classpath.txt file is located by typing "which classpath.txt" in Matlab. (typically something like /usr/local/matlab/toolbox/local/classpath.txt) Add the following to ${HOME}/matlab/classpath.txt:

/home/USER/horus/lib/classes
/home/horus/local/JOB-4.0.5/lib/OB.jar
/home/horus/local/JOB-4.0.5/lib/OBUtil.jar

Note that you cannot use environment variables in classpath.txt so make sure you adjust the USER value above to reflect your situation! And, you have to start matlab in the ${HOME}/matlab directory otherwise your classpath.txt is not used!

Also handy :

cp ${HXSRC}/HxSamples/Matlab/startup.m ${HOME}/matlab

Build

Go to the ${HOME}/horus/src directory, type make, and go get a cup of coffee, or two, or three, ...

Done!

If all went well you are now ready to run Horus. For some examples, read chapter Getting Started.

Good luck.
