Setting up the CSD System Environment on Linux and Mac OS X

To run PreQuest you must set the CSD environment variable CSDHOME and add CSDHOME/bin to your PATH.

 

1.	To set CSDHOME for Bourne shell (sh) or Korn shell (ksh), type:

CSDHOME=<CAMBRIDGE>; export CSDHOME

where <CAMBRIDGE> is the top level directory of your CSD System installation.

For example:

CSDHOME=/usr/local/cambridge; export CSDHOME

 

2.	Similarly, to set CSDHOME for C-shell (csh), type:

 

setenv CSDHOME <CAMBRIDGE>

where <CAMBRIDGE> is the top level directory of your CSD System installation.

For example:

 

setenv CSDHOME /usr/local/cambridge

 

3.	To add CSDHOME/bin to your PATH for Bourne shell (sh) or Korn shell (ksh), type:

 

PATH=$CSDHOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

 

4.	Or for C-shell (csh) type:

 

setenv PATH $CSDHOME/bin:$PATH; rehash

 

To make these changes permanent, add the commands executed in steps 1. and 2. to all your CSD System users’ .login (csh) or .profile (sh, ksh) files. Alternatively, place the commands in a system-wide login or profile script such as /etc/profile.
