All of the subsystems for Cosmo Worlds can be installed on
an active system. However, after installing some patches,
you will be required to reboot your system. Refer to the
_I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions.
2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
Your workstation must be running at least release 6.2 of
IRIX in order to use this version of Cosmo Worlds.
You must also install four patches if you are running on
IRIX 6.2; see below and in Chapter 5 for more details.
Finally, you should install several optional data subsystems
to increase the range of the sample data available to you;
see below for more details.
Contact your customer support representative if you cannot
satisfy these installation prerequisites.

2.5.2 _R_e_c_o_m_m_e_n_d_e_d__O_p_t_i_o_n_a_l__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
We _s_t_r_o_n_g_l_y _r_e_c_o_m_m_e_n_d that you install the following
optional subsystems since they contain very useful 3D
models, materials, and textures. These software subsystems
are included on your IRIX operating system CD, but are not
installed by default.
If you do not install these subsystems, you find that the
Texture Editor and Material Palette start out empty or
nearly empty.
Cosmo Packager relies on several subsystems containing media
conversion tools. These are detailed below. If they are
not installed, you will not be able to convert certain
image, movie, and sound formats into web-safe, VRML 2.0
compliant formats.
Finally, we recommend that you install the _x_l_a_t_o_r_s__3_d
product, which contains plug-in translators which allow
Cosmo Worlds to import DXF, Alias wire, Obj, SLA, and
Softimage files.
