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.

2.5.2 Recommended Optional Subsystems


   We strongly recommend that you install the following
   optional subsystems.  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 will find that
   Button Magic's Texture Editor and Material Palette start out
   empty or nearly empty.

   Also, 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, HTML-
   compliant formats.
