2 Installation and Configuration
The Scream! software is available free-of-charge by request to
mailto:[email protected] . Please specify, when ordering, the
operating system on which you wish to run the software.
2.1 Installation on Windows
Scream! for Windows is delivered as an installer packaged application
so you will receive a single .exe file. Run this file and follow the
instructions on screen. Please see Section 2.3 on page 10 for initial
configuration steps.
2.2 Installation on Unix or Linux
Scream! for Unix/Linux can be delivered as either an RPM package or
a .tar.gz compressed archive: please specify whichever is most
appropriate when ordering. For users of Debian GNU Linux-based
distributions, such as Ubuntu, the alien command can be used to
create a .deb package from the RPM.
2.2.1 Installation from an RPM or .deb
You can normally use your package manager to install in the usual
fashion. On some systems, however, you may need to use the
­­nodeps option with rpm, the ­­force­depends option with dpkg
or a similar option with other package managers. Please see Section
2.3 on page 10 for initial configuration steps.
2.2.2 Installation from a .tar.gz archive
The archive is created with relative file-paths and contains, at its root,
a single directory, scream-4.5. It should be unpacked (using
tar ­xzf scream­4.5.tar.gz or an equivalent command) into a
suitable location, such as /usr/lib. After unpacking, you need to
copy a file to the system library directory (usually /usr/lib) and
create a symbolic link. You normally need to have root authority to do
this. Change your working directory to the scream-4.5 directory and
issue the following commands:
cp libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /usr/lib
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so
You may wish to change the owner and group of the extracted files
according to your local policy.
