Linux Installation

Version 4 install: Download the relevant .deb-file from rom 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. Set the environment-variable $TIGRESS_HOME to point to the distribution, by adding these lines to your shell startup file (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile, etc, depending on your shell):

export TIGRESS_VERSION=3.3
export TIGRESS_HOME=/Users/alice/tigress-install/bin/tigress/$TIGRESS_VERSION
export PATH=$PATH:$TIGRESS_HOME



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 ...
