Installing PMWizard

To install PMWizard use the following steps:

1. Download files from ftp.livingston.com as follows:

ftp ftp.livingston.com
(Enter "anonymous".)
(Enter your email address; it will not echo.)
binary
cd pub/le/software/java
* For Solaris, enter
get pmwizard10_solaris.tar

* For other UNIX systems, enter
get pmwizard10_unix.tar

* For Windows, enter
get pmwizard10.zip

* For Macintosh, enter
get pmwizard10.sit

quit
Alternatively, a web-based installation is now available from:
http://www.livingston.com/download/pmwizard10/install.htm
This web-based installation provides installers for Windows (with and without a JVM), Solaris (with and without a JVM), Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX and other platforms.

2. For UNIX systems, define the path for the jre/bin in your .cshrc file. For example, if you install the JRE in the /usr/local/lib directory, the .cshrc file must have the following entry:

set path=( /usr/local/lib/jre1.1.4/bin $path )

If the JDK is installed, change the pmwizard script to use the java command instead of jre.

3. Run the installation.

* For Solaris (other than x86), enter the following commands:

tar xvf pmwizard10_solaris.tar
./pmwizard_install.bin

For other UNIX systems, enter the following commands (you can use any directory you prefer instead of /usr/local/lucent):

mkdir /usr/local/lucent
mkdir /usr/local/lucent/pmwizard
mv pmwizard10_unix.tar /usr/local/lucent/pmwizard
cd /usr/local/lucent/pmwizard
tar xvf pmwizard10_unix.tar
rm pmwizard10_unix.tar

* For Windows, unzip the pmwizard10.zip file, run the pmwizard_install.exe program, and follow its instructions.

* For Macintosh, unstuff the pmwizard10.sit file, run the installation program, and follow its instructions.

Removing PMWizard

On a Solaris, Windows, or Macintosh system, an application called Uninstall_PMWizard is placed in the Lucent/PMWizard directory. Run this application to remove PMWizard from your system.

On Solaris, if the local jre directory still exists after you run Uninstall_PMWizard, remove the directory with the command "rm -rf jre".

On other UNIX systems, remove the shell script and jar files to remove PMWizard from your system.
