Linux Installation

Version 4 install: Download the relevant .deb-file from the download page and, in a Terminal, type:

> sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i file.deb

Tigress will be installed in /usr/local/bin/tigresspkg and links to the tigress binaries will be added to /usr/local/bin:

You can run a simple installation check:

> /usr/local/bin/tigresspkgVERSION-NUMBER/check.sh

Version 0-3 installation: Download the relevant .zip-file. Unzip and store the directory in the location of your choice. Add the distribution's version directory to your PATH, by adding these lines to your shell startup file (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile, etc, depending on your shell):

export TIGRESS_VERSION=4.2
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/alice/tigress-install/bin/tigress/$TIGRESS_VERSION



Running on Linux

The interface to Tigress changed from Version 3 to 4. In Version 3, the "--Environment=..." option was mandatory, and to specify the path to a compiler you would use the ''--gcc=..." option:

> tigress --Environment=x86_64:Linux:Gcc:4.6 ...
> tigress --Environment=x86_64:Linux:Gcc:4.6 --gcc=PATH-TO-COMPILER ...

In Version 4, the "--Environment=..." option is optional (we derive the platform from reasonable assumptions about the current environment), and to specify the path to a compiler you use the "--Compiler=..." option:

> tigress ...
> tigress --Environment=x86_64:Linux:Gcc:4.6 ...
> tigress --Environment=x86_64:Linux:Gcc:4.6 --Compiler=PATH-TO-COMPILER ...
