VisAD-in-a-Box:
To download VisAD-in-a-Box:
VisAD-in-a-Box
Note: This currently contains only the Solaris JDK.
To install VisAD-in-a-Box:
- If you've received an visad-in-a-box.tar file,
run tar xvf visad-in-a-box.tar
- If you've received an visad-in-a-box.tar.gz file,
run gzcat -c visad-in-a-box.tar | tar xvf -
- Move into the extracted visad-in-a-box distribution
directory and run install_visad
- Answer the few installation questions,
then wait for everything to finish installing.
- You can remove the visad-in-a-box distribution
directory after the installation is complete.
Note: The cpush utility must be available in order
to install on all nodes in a cluster.
To keep your visad.jar file up to date:
Simply run java visad.install.UpdateJar dir
where dir is the directory in which you've installed
your visad.jar file.
This will only update the local visad.jar file if it is older
than the distributed visad.jar file.
To create a new VisAD-in-a-Box distribution:
- Create a distribution directory (in this example, the distribution
directory will be named visad-in-a-box.)
- Copy visad/install/install_visad to the visad-in-a-box
directory
- Copy a visad.jar file to the visad-in-a-box directory.
- If you have a VisAD source distribution,
you can run make compile (or make recompile)
to compile all the VisAD sources, then run
make classes to create visad.jar in the
directory about the Makefile.
- If you want to include Java executables, you can
do either of the following:
- Copy a JDK directory tree into the visad-in-a-box
directory and name it jdk-OS-MACH
where OS is whatever is printed by uname -s
and MACH is whatever is printed by uname -p.
If you do this, the included java executable
will be used to run the installer on machines which
match this machine's OS and MACH.
- Package up a JDK directory tree in a jar file
named jdk-OS-MACH.jar (where OS and MACH
are as in the item above.)
- In the directory above the visad-in-a-box directory,
package everything up with
tar cvf visad-in-a-box.tar visad-in-a-box
(or whatever you've named your distribution directory.)
