- | How to install Euphoria from a .zip file |
- +------------------------------------------+
-
- This installation procedure assumes that you have the file EUPHOR10.ZIP.
- To set things up properly you should:
-
- mkdir c:\euphoria
- copy euphor10.zip c:\euphoria
- cd c:\euphoria
- pkunzip euphor10
-
- Instead of "c:" you could use another drive, e.g. "d:" if you desire.
-
- If you have already unzipped in another directory, you can install there if
- you wish, or you can copy euphor10.zip to c:\euphoria and pkunzip it in
- the euphoria directory, as expected by the automatic install program.
-
- After unzipping, you will see about 80 files or so in your directory. These
- will be moved into newly-created subdirectories when you run install.bat.
- You can actually run some of the demo programs right away before installing
- -- just type "ex" followed by the name of the .ex file (e.g. ex mset, ex ttt,
- ex lw, etc.). You should eventually run install.bat to get things set up
- properly.
-
- A couple of small changes are needed in your autoexec.bat file. You can make
- these changes manually, or let "install.bat" do it for you. In either case all
- that happens is:
- - C:\EUPHORIA\BIN is added to your autoexec.bat PATH command
- - the variable EUDIR is set to C:\EUPHORIA
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Automatic Procedure
- ===================
- At the MS-DOS prompt (not Windows) type:
-
- install
-
- This will organize the files into subdirectories and
- will show you the changes that it makes to your autoexec.bat file.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Manual Procedure
- ================
- We assume that you are going to use drive c:
-
- 1. In MS-DOS (not Windows) at the prompt, type:
-
- ex setupdir
-
- This will set up the Euphoria subdirectories. (install.bat does this
- step automatically, if it hasn't been done yet).
-
- 2. In the file c:\autoexec.bat add c:\euphoria\bin to the list of
- directories in your PATH command.
-
- 3. In the same autoexec.bat file add a new line:
-
- set eudir=c:\euphoria
-
- The eudir environment variable indicates the full path to
- the main euphoria directory.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Now press Control-Alt-Delete to reboot.
- This will define your new PATH and EUDIR environment variables
-
- If you now type 'ex' from any directory you should get a message
- from the Euphoria interpreter and a prompt. Type the name of a Euphoria
- .ex file to execute it, or simply type Enter to quit. The full-screen
- Euphoria editor 'ed' should also now be available. Type ed followed by a
- .e, .ex, or other text file name to view or edit the file.
-
- You're all set! Files ending with .ex can now be run with the interpreter
- ex.exe. Check out the demo programs. Enjoy!
