Installation Instructions:

In order to compile and run the ISIP demo suite, three packages must be installed: Java, Galaxy Communicator, and the ISIP Repository.

Java:

1. Go to the Java Downloads page and download the package appropriate for your system.
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by Sun.
3. In order to use any Java commands you should set your path to point to the `/bin` directory of your Java installation. You can do this by editing your `.bash_profile` adding the full directory path to the line that looks like
   PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
   to make it look like (assuming version 1.4.2_02 in `/usr`)
   PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/

Galaxy Communicator:

1. Download Galaxy Communicator.
2. Untar the file. (Example: `tar -zxvf GalaxyCommunicator-4.0.tar.gz`)
3. Download the ISIP Patch into the newly unpacked Galaxy Communicator directory.
4. In the Galaxy Communicator directory type the following command to apply the patch:
   patch -Np1 -i GalaxyCommunicator-4.0.patch
5. Change directories to `/GalaxyCommunicator-4.0/templates`
6. Enter following commands:
   ./configure
   cd ..
   make

ISIP Repository:

1. Download and setup CVS. (Some linux installations include CVS by default. To see if you have CVS already installed type `cvs --help`. If it displays the cvs commands then you already have it installed.
2. Move to the directory in which you wish to install the repository.
3. Enter the following command:
   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.isip.msstate.edu:/isip/tools/cvsroot login
4. When it asks for a password, simply hit return. There is no password for anonymous logins.
5. Make a directory called isip (`mkdir isip`) and enter that directory.
