Alicia - Install -

Requirements

Alicia requires the perl (version5.8) and the two perl modules, Term::Readkey and Term::ReadLine::Perl for command line operations.

Alicia-1.0.x requires the core engine "crash" for Alicia's API.

Perl Modules

Install Perl modules:

Term::Readkey

Put a file "TermReadKey-2.21.tar.gz" on opportunity directory.

  $ tar -xzf TermReadKey-2.21.tar.gz  
  $ cd TermReadKey-2.21
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ make
  $ make test     
  $ su -
  # make install

Term::Readline::Perl

Allocate a file "Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0203.tar.gz" on opportunity directory.

  $ tar -xzf Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0203.tar.gz
  $ cd Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0203.tar.gz
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ make  
  $ make test
  $ su -
  # make install

crash

  $ tar -xzf crash-3.8-5.tar.gz
  $ cd crash-3.8-5
  $ make
  $ su -
  # make install

Alicia

Put the Alicia tarball in a directory where you have permissions. Alicia is installed on the directory of Perl default library on your system. You can see the default directory by the following command;

 $ perl '-V:install.*'

If you would like to change the target of install directory, you can specify it. Please put "prefix" after "perl Makefile.PL" (see next paragraph).

  $ tar -xzf Alicia-.tar.gz
  $ cd Alicia-version
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ su -
  # make
  # make install

How to change the target directory of Alicia install: Alicia binary file 'alicia'; Alicia configuration file; current LDAS directory where you can access without putting full path.

Configuration

You can change history file name, history file size, command path of "crash", inputrc of readline that is used by Alicia, and LDAS directory by changing ~/.alicia/alicia.conf or /etc/alicia.conf.
