2 UNIX VICAR from CD or Tape

Running VICAR Directly from CD

VICAR UNIX CD's are made for either Sun4, Solaris or IRIX (SGI) operating systems. Insert the UNIX VICAR CD specific for your operating system into your CD reader. CD's automatically mount at /cdrom (Sun4 user mount is site-specific: consult your system manager.)

Check the instructions that come with your VICAR CD. Below is an example of running VICAR from a Solaris CD. Important Note: Due to limitations in TAE, the directory you choose for VICAR must not have any uppercase letters in the pathname. In other words, /CDROM will not work with TAE, though it will work with SAGE.

1. % setenv V2TOP /cdrom/sunsol/vicar170
2. % source $V2TOP/vicset1.csh
3. % source $V2TOP/vicset2.csh
4. % vicar
5. When finished, % eject

Load VICAR onto Local Disk

Install from CD-ROM

This example assumes /usr/local/vicar will be the VICAR location, /cdrom is the CD-ROM mount point. Important Note: Due to limitations in TAE, the directory you choose for VICAR must not have any uppercase letters in the pathname. In other words, /CDROM will not work with TAE, though it will work with SAGE

Below is an example for loading VICAR from a Solaris CD into /usr/local/vicar/vicar170 on a hard disk.

1. % mkdir /usr/local/vicar #May require root!
2. % cd /cdrom/sunsol
3. % tar cf - . | (cd /usr/local/vicar; tar xvBf -)

Install from 4mm or 8mm Tape

This example assumes /usr/local/vicar will be the VICAR location and /dev/rst0 is tape player's device name. Important Note: Due to limitations in TAE, the directory you choose for VICAR must not have any uppercase letters in the pathname.

Insert the tape into the tape drive

1. % mkdir /usr/local/vicar #May require root!
2. % cd /usr/local/vicar
3. % tar xvf /dev/rst0
