4 Getting Started with CLIM 2.0

4.1 Extracting CLIM 2.0

CLIM 2.0 is supplied on the Liquid Common Lisp distribution in a set of files created using the UNIXtar facility. The files for any given platform are contained in twotar archives:

Onetar archive, common to all platforms, contains the documentation.
Anothertar archive contains files specific to the platform.

Table 4.1 lists the names of thetar files containing the documentation and platform-specific files in the CD-ROM distribution. If you obtain the distribution by means other than CD-ROM, the names of thetar files may differ.

UNIXtar files in the CLIM 2.0 release
File name Platform Contents
common-clim.tar All Shared between all ports
hppa-clim.tar HP/HP-UX Platform-specific files
rios-clim.tar RS6000/AIX Platform-specific files
sgi-clim.tar SGI/IRIX Platform-specific files
solaris-clim.tar SPARC/Solaris a Platform-specific files
sunrise-clim.tar SPARC/SunOS Platform-specific files

UNIX`tar` files in the CLIM 2.0 release
File name	Platform	Contents
`common-clim.tar`	All	Shared between all ports
`hppa-clim.tar`	HP/HP-UX	Platform-specific files
`rios-clim.tar`	RS6000/AIX	Platform-specific files
`sgi-clim.tar`	SGI/IRIX	Platform-specific files
`solaris-clim.tar`	SPARC/Solaris a	Platform-specific files
sunrise-clim.tar	SPARC/SunOS	Platform-specific files

If you have obtained the distribution on CD-ROM, use the following procedures to extract the product files from the tar files:

: 1. Load the CD-ROM into your drive.
: 2. Connect to the directory into which you intend to install the distribution.
: 3. Execute the following UNIX command:

tar xvf device common-clim.tar platform_tar_file

: In thistar command, device is the device that represents the CD-ROM drive;common-clim.tar the name of thetar file that contains the documentation; and platform_tar_file is the name of thetar file that contains files specific to your platform. For the device that represents your CD-ROM drive, see the documentation for your platform. For the names of thetar files in the CD-ROM distribution, see Table 4.1.
: Thetar command extracts the product files from the CD-ROM into the directories in the Lisp Library Area underlcl/5-0/*(see Section 2.2), automatically creating any missing directories.

If you have obtained the distribution by a means such as FTP that placestar files on your local disk, use the following procedures to extract the product files from thetar files:

: 1. Examine the names of thetar files. If they end with the suffix.Z, they have been compressed, using the UNIXcompress facility. Use the following UNIX command to uncompress the files:

uncompress common-clim.Z platform_tar_file.Z

: In thisuncompress command,common-clim.Z is the name of the compressedtar file that contains the documentation, and platform_tar_file.Zis the name of the compressedtar file that contains files specific to your platform. Theuncompress command replaces common-clim.Z and platform_tar_file.Z with the uncompressed filescommon-clim and platform_file.
: 2. Connect to the directory into which you intend to install the distribution.
: 3. Execute the following UNIX commands:

tar xvf - < common-clim.tar
tar xvf - < platform_tar_file

: Thetar command extracts the product files from thetar files into the directories in the Lisp Library Arealcl/5-0/* (see Section 2.2), automatically creating any missing directories.

Once you have extracted the product files and have a working Liquid installation, you can start using CLIM.
