For a discussion of the choice between the standard and manual installation procedures, see Before you Install.
The standard installation of this software product follows this sequence of events:
1. Create a directory to contain the product
2. Load the product's files from the release medium to the installation directory
After installing this software, perform the post-installation instructions described in After Installation.
The following sections describe each step in the standard installation procedure.
If you do not already have an accelrys user account please see Creating UNIX User Accounts.
Accelrys products are shipped on CD-ROM in ISO 9660 with RockRidge format. The following instructions explain how to extract the software from the distribution CD.
From the UNIX shell command line, follow these steps:
In order to mount the CD-ROM disk onto a file system, you must know the root password for the workstation to which your CD-ROM drive is connected. Your alternative is to have someone who knows the root password assist you with the installation.
Certain workstations from Silicon Graphics, Inc. do not have this requirement, as discussed in the next section.
The traditional directory for mounting CD-ROM disks on UNIXÆ workstations is /cdrom. If you use another directory, substitute that directory name in the instructions that follow.
Each workstation vendor uses a variation of the mount command to mount CD-ROM disks. Insert the CD-ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive (using a caddy if your CD-ROM drive requires it) and issue the mount command for your workstation.
Log in as root or another superuser account and open a command prompt session. Select the appropriate mount command from these options:
On Silicon GraphicsÆ workstations running IRIX 6.2 or later:
No mount command is necessary. Simply insert the CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive. A moment later, a mount daemon automatically mounts the disk onto a directory named /CDROM. In this case, use the uppercase directory name /CDROM in the following instructions.
Follow these steps to extract the product files from the mounted CD-ROM disk:
Change to the directory on which you mounted the CD-ROM disk. For example:
Get a directory listing and look for the name INSTALL.EXE.
On most systems, the filenames in the listing are shown in uppercase letters, but on some systems the filenames are converted to lowercase letters.
Run the INSTALL.EXE script, using the uppercase or lowercase version of the name as determined in the previous step.
The INSTALL.EXE script displays a list of the Accelrys software products on the CD-ROM disk, then checks for the existence of an accelrys user account. If found, the script prompts for permission to use the accelrys user's home directory. If you accept (y), the install.exe creates a subdirectory in your home directory called Quanta_2006.
Your ~accelrys directory is searched for an installed License Pack* directory (~accelrys/License_Pack). If none is found then you are prompted to either install the License_Pack, or to enter the path to a previously installed License_Pack. By default the License Pack is installed in the ~accelrys directory, although you can specify an alternative directory. If you already have a License Pack installed, that version is verified to make sure it is the same or newer than the version shipped with this release, and is updated if necessary.
The product list re-displays. Enter the Product_ID in the first column of the list that corresponds to the product you wish to install. Enter one Product_ID only, exactly as shown in the list.
If you told the INSTALL.EXE script in step 4 not to use the accelrys home directory, the script prompts for the path name of an alternative directory in which to extract the product's files. Enter the full path name of the alternative installation directory. The script creates a product subdirectory in the directory you specify.
When the installation directory is determined, the INSTALL.EXE script extracts the files for the product you specified. This may take as much as several hours, depending on product size, machine speed, and network traffic.
When all files are extracted, the INSTALL.EXE script re-displays the product list. If you have another Accelrys product to install, enter its Product_ID as shown in the first column of the product list. If not, type exit.
This completes the file extraction stage of the installation.
You will need a valid license file named accelryslicense.dat. If a new license was emailed to you, be sure to have that license saved to a file to install during installation. If you are not a new customer, you may also be able to extract a new license during installation.
> ./install
In the next step, the install script displays the full path name of the directory in which you installed the software. This path name will be written into the program's start-up script, so be sure it is correct. If your network uses automounted NFS drives, you may want to delete the initial /tmp_mnt portion of the path name, or if the path is not the full network path then you will want to modify it to be sure all users can access the files.
The install script displays the default path for the License Pack to be used with this Accelrys release. If it is incorrect, follow the prompts to enter the correct path to the License Pack.
Next, a list of files is displayed. These files are automatically configured with the location of this installation and the License Pack, as necessary. To modify this configuration later you may execute the config_files script at any time.
Next, the install script prompts:
Do you want to install the License Manager on this machine? <y/n>
If you respond n, the script ends. You are reminded to re-run the install script, if necessary, on the machine that will act as your license server.
Respond y if your QUANTA host will also act as your license server. In this case, the script looks for a license named accelryslicense.dat in the License Pack. Then:
You have the following options:1. Extract license for your machine.
2. Extract license for another machine.
3. Extract all company licenses.
4. Install emailed or current license.
5. Continue without License Installation.
Options 1, 2, and 3 allow you to extract a license from licenses shipped with this
Option 1 searches for a license for the machine you are currently using.
Option 2 searches for a license for another machine, prompting you to enter a system ident.
Option 3 extracts all the licenses found for your company based on the system ident.
Option 4 allows you to enter the path to a file containing a license which was emailed.
Option 5 skips the license installation process and continues with the software installation.
If you decide to use a previously installed license, you are prompted to start the license manager for the already installed license. If you know the daemon is already running for this license, then you can answer no to the prompts. However, if you would like to start or restart the license daemons, then answer the questions accordingly.
Once a license is extracted or installed, you are prompted to enable the license manager on the machine on which you are running the install program. If you answer yes to these prompts and have root permissions, the license daemons are set up to automatically restart at boot time as well as brought up to use with this new installation.
If you choose not to install a license during the installation then you should execute the following command, from the install directory, to do so:
> <location of Accelrys product installation directory>/bin/install_temp_license
Once the QUANTA files are installed, and the license manager daemon is running, you can verify the license installation by performing the following commands:
Set up the license administration environment.
csh> source <full_path>/LicensePack/etc/lp_cshrc sh> . <full_path>/LicensePack/etc/lp_profile
Verify that the license manager is up by using lp_lmstat, or lp_server -w command.
> lp_lmstat or: > lp_server -w
View the features and the number of copies supported.
> lp_lmstat -a
Execute a test license checkout to verify the license file or server connection.
> lp_tester
To physically connect the dial box to your hardware, plug the dial box into an open serial port and connect the AC adapter to a power source.
1. To install the SGI dial box on an SGI machine, first install the eoe.sw.optinput package, available on the SGI installation CD.
2. Next, run the following as the root user
3. In the dialog box that appears, choose Next, then Input Device, then choose the serial port you connected the dial box to. From the list of device names choose "Dials & Buttons", then click OK.
The dial box is now installed.
See Preparing the dial box for use in Quanta below.
1. To install the SGI dial box on a Linux machine, first download the XFree86 (or X.org) source code appropriate for your version of X11 (e.g., if you have WS3.0, you need XFree86 4.3.0).
2. Unzip and untar the source code in an empty directory, e.g.:
3. Download the dialbox driver available here:
http://www.geocities.com/joekrahn/
5. Edit the makefile you find there. You should see line like "TOP = xc-4.0.1" somewhere in the file. Edit this line to read "TOP = /X11Source", where /X11Source is the path to the directory where you put the X11 source code.
Also, change the line defining TOP_INCLUDES to:
TOP_INCLUDES = -I$(INCROOT) $(TOP_X_INCLUDES) -I$(TOP)/include -I$(TOP)/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus -I$(TOP)/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86
6. Run make in the dialbox directory.
7. After make has successfully completed, copy the file dialbox_drv.o to your xinput directory:
8. Add the following to your /etc/XF86Config or /etc/xorg.conf file:
Section "InputDevice"Identifier "Dialbox0"
Driver "dialbox"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "EnableButtons" "on"
EndSection
In the 'Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"' line above, you should replace /dev/ttyS0 with the appropriate serial device, which is probably either /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1, for the first or second serial ports, respectively.
9. In the same file, make sure you add the dialbox as an input device in the ServerLayout section:
Section "ServerLayout"Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Dialbox0" # <-- Dialbox entry
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Note that the only line you need to add in the ServerLayout section is the 'InputDevice "Dialbox0"' line.
10. Now restart your X-server (logging off and then on should do it), and the dial box should be installed successfully.
See Preparing the dial box for use in Quanta below.
Now that you've installed the dial box, Quanta still needs to be told that you want to use it.
1. In your Quanta installation directory:
2. In the file device.dat remove the # on the line"#DIAL".
3. Ensure that the dialbox is connected before starting Quanta. You are now ready to use the dial box with Quanta.
