Single-user Unix/Linux setup

If you are installing on a single user system, we recommend the following installation. We assume that the binary distribution has been downloaded to your $HOME directory.

mkdir $HOME/.dpml
cd /$HOME/.dpml
tar xvfz $HOME/dpml-platform-nnnn.tar.gz
chown -R $USER .
        

And enter the following into your own login script, e.g. $HOME/.bashrc. $HOME/.bash_profile (system dependent).

HOME=$HOME/.dpml
export HOME
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/share/bin
export PATH
        

Multi-user Unix/Linux setup

If you are installing on a multi-user system it is important that the permissions are properly set up. We recommend that the following commands are executed as root. We assume that the binary distribution has been downloaded to the /root directory, and that the system has a group named "users" which all users belong to.

mkdir /usr/share/dpml
cd /usr/share/dpml
tar xvfz /root/dpml-platform-nnnn.tar.gz
chown -R root.users cache
chmod -R g+w cache
cd cache
        

And the following setup to be entered into the shared user login script, e.g. /etc/profile (system dependent).

HOME=/var/dpml
export HOME
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/share/bin
export PATH
