Installation

To install Stuart, copy the Stuart.app file from the distribution directory to the target installation directory.  This installs Stuart with the online manual, but without the ability to perform certain important system logging functions (see Trouble Shooting/talk Isn't Working).

To grant Stuart the ability to perform these functions, install slog within the Stuart.app wrapper (see slog).  slog requires the root user to install it.  Though slog is not required for Stuart to work, it is recommended that it be installed.

Even if your site currently uses a simple Stuart executable (no Stuart.app wrapper), you should still install Stuart as Stuart.app.  In NeXTSTEP3.0, all NeXTSTEP executables are .app wrappers, so this change must happen eventually.  If you wish to retain the functionality of the simple Stuart executable, open Stuart.app from Workspace using File/Open as Folder, and Control-drag the Stuart file from Stuart.app/ to wherever you wish to install it, creating a symbolic link.  Stuart recognizes symbolic links and uses them to find the Stuart.app directory where the online manual and slog reside.

If you wish to prune Stuart so that it takes up less disk space, you can remove the online manual.  Open the Stuart.app wrapper using File/Open as Folder, and drag the Online/ directory into the recycler.  If you do wish to remove the online documentation please read Undocumentation first.  Note that removing the online documentation while reading it within Stuart is guaranteed to cause this Manual panel not to work properly.

The distribution also includes a number of utility programs that enhance Stuart's functionality.  None of these programs are required for Stuart to work.  In many instances, though, these programs can make Stuart much more useful than it is without them.  See Utilities in this section for installation instructions.
