- Tidy Installation Information
- =============================
-
- 0. Make sure that you have the perl script language interpreter,
- version 5, installed on your system.
-
- 1. Unpack the archive file. It will create a directory containing
- all necessary files.
-
- 2. Check the first line of the following executables for the correct path
- of the perl interpreter: tidy, install-test, do-install
- The first line should read something like
- #!/usr/bin/perl
- You can easily determine the complete path to perl by saying 'which perl'.
- Do NOT use the '-w' option to perl, as this will create hundreds of
- (harmless) 'undefined variable' warnings.
-
- 3. Try to run 'install-test'. This little utility will examine your system
- and give you some hints if things don't look good. If you get
- errors, edit the first paragraph of install-test and set up the
- PS, WHEREIS and S_CONF variables. Do not hesitate to consult the
- syslogd(8) and syslog.conf(5) man pages. Tidy depends on the files
- produced by syslogd.
-
- 4. Edit tidy.conf. There is plenty of documentation along this file so
- that you are guided step by step through the configuration.
- You may of course edit this file later on.
-
- 5. Edit do-install. Specify the paths where you want to put tidy,
- its manual pages and the configuration file. The path to the
- configuration file is inserted automatically in the tidy main
- script, so that you won't have to specify it with the -C
- command line option. Later you may of course specify alternate
- configuration files.
-
- 6. Say './do-install' if you are root. This installs tidy. As
- a normal user you may install the files to your local
- directory and use tidy only to create statistics.
-
- 7. Give it a try after you have read the man page and customized
- tidy.conf. Enjoy!
