G.3 Linux workstations - NEMO V3.0 and V3.1

We are going to install NEMO in the directory designated by the environment variable $NEMO on a Linux workstation. The NEMO environment variable will be needed (see also Appendix [*]), and will generally be set in your .cshrc file. We will do this a little later. Even if your are not on a Sun workstation, please read this section carefully and the next section on installation procedures on non-Sun UNIX systems.

If you haven't done so yet, create NEMO's root directory now (or make at least sure that the directory is empty):

    % mkdir $NEMO                (or whatever $NEMO will be)
    % cd $NEMO

It is perhaps convenient to install a special ``nemo'' user. In case your site has active users that are donating software to NEMO (the ultimate goal of this project) the sub-directories need to have write permission for them. The use of UNIX 'groups' may come in handy here. To begin with, $NEMO/usr is intended for this purpose.

We will now take you through the installation step by stepG.1.
