Installation
You should obtain the latest distribution of PHENIX including the
binary bundles for your machine architectures. Unpack the tar file:
% tar xvf phenix-installer-<version>-<platform>.tar
Change to the installer directory:
% cd phenix-installer-<version>
To install:
% ./install [will install in /usr/local/phenix-<version> by default,
requires root permissions]
% ./install --prefix=<directory> [will make <directory>/phenix-<version> and install there]
Note: <directory> must be a absolute path (i.e. starts with a /). A
relative path starting with ../ will not work correctly.
Note: on Mac OS-X systems the binary installation must be installed in /usr/local.
Installation of the binary version of PHENIX requires no compilation, only
the generation of some data files, so you will probably have to wait about
30 minutes for the installation to complete (depending on the performance of
your installation platform).
PHENIX is supported on most common Linux platforms and Mac OS-X
Currently, the following Redhat Linux platforms are tested, and therefore
supported for the distribution:
- Redhat 8.0
- Redhat 9.0
- Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 [+/- x86_64]
- Redhat Enterprise Server 4.2 [+/- x86_64]
- Fedora Core 3 [+/- x86_64]
- Fedora Core 5 [+/- x86_64]
- Fedora Core 6 [+/- x86_64]
Redhat versions prior to 8.0 are not supported.
PHENIX should install on other Linux platforms such as Mandrake, or SuSe.
There are 4 different Linux installations available, based on the
version of the kernel (2.4 or 2.6) and the CPU type (ix86 or
x86_64). If it isn't clear which you need then type this command on
the machine in question:
% uname -rm
The first item is the kernel version, the second is the machine
hardware. Please download the appropriate installer based on this
table:
| Hardware |
Kernel |
| 2.4 |
2.6 |
|
ix86 |
intel-linux-2.4 |
intel-linux-2.6 |
|
x86_64 |
intel-linux-2.4-x86_64 |
intel-linux-2.6-x86_64 |
Currently, the following other platforms are supported for the distribution:
- Mac OS-X (Intel and PPC) 10.4.10 or later (Tiger or Leopard)
