2.3 Installation Method
All of the subsystems for Cosmo Create can be installed
using IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to
the IRIS Software Installation Guide for complete
installation instructions.
2.4 Prerequisites
Your workstation must be running at least release 6.2 of
IRIX in order to use this version of Cosmo Create. You also
need to install the subsystems listed below in Table 1. You
should also install the subsystem cosmocreate.data.base,
which is installed by default; unlike the other subsystems
listed in the table, there is no prerequisite mechanism
enforcing this subsystem to be installed because it puts
files into /usr/share, which isn't accessible by customers
who are running in a diskless configuration.
In addition, there are two patches that you should install;
see below and Chapter 5 for more details about these
patches. If you are running Cosmo Create in the Japanese
locale be sure to install patch 1349 included with the
Japanese WorldView product.
