ReadMe contains the installation instructions in text format.
Download the setup appropriate for your operating system.
Semi-automatic install for Windows NT/95/98:
If you installed the jre1.3.0_02, then "copy c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\jre\1.3.0_02\bin\java.exe c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\jre\1.3.0_02\bin\jre.exe" after the jre installation and before running setup.exe.
OR
Semi-automatic install for UNIX/Linux: /bin/sh setup.sh
OR (if the previous two semi-automated methods fail)
Manual install to Windows or Unix/Linux by:
Create a directory "C:\Program Files\EMDS\" (or Unix/Linux "./emds") and download the emdsInstall.zip file to it and unzip it.
On Windows/Unix/Linux, emdsInstall.zip unzips the following files:
Sync.class, StatusText.class, StatusWindow.class, URLConUsrPW.class, Base64Convert.jar
ReadMe.txt, License.txt, ldad.jpg, cs_nws32.ico
emdssync.bat.exe, emdsmapclip.bat, emdsconfig.bat, emds2.exe
emdssync.sh, emdsmapclip.sh, emdsconfig.sh, emds.sh, calljava.sh
Additional Windows setup:
emdssync.bat.exe, emdsmapclip.bat, emdsconfig.bat, emds2.exe
Setup desktop icons and Start menu entries connected to these four files.
For example, create desktop icons by "right-mouse-click-on-desktop->New->Shortcut" and enter the path "C:\Program Files\EMDS\emds2.bat".
For example, create start menu entries by "right-mouse-click-on-bottom-taskbar->Properties->Start Menu Programs tab" and enter the path "C:\Program Files\EMDS\emds2.bat".
Modify the CLASSPATH in the emdssync.bat, emdsmapclip.bat, emdsconfig.bat, and emds2.bat to reflect the location of the java.exe/jre.exe installation on your system. The batch files are designed to work with jre1.1.7B or jre1.3.0_02 without modification.
Additional Unix/Linux setup:
emdssync.sh, emdsmapclip.sh, emdsconfig.sh, emds.sh, calljava.sh
Setup desktop icons and menu entries connected to the first four files.
Note:On Unix/Linux it may be necessary to strip "^M" off of the "*.sh" files using
dos2ux setup.sh > setup.sh2
rm setup.sh
mv setup.sh2 setup.sh
On Windows PCs:
Step 3) Execute "setup" on your computer. Setup will create installation directories at "C:\Program Files\EMDS". On Windows, it will also create four desktop icons and four Start menuitems named "EMDS Synchronize", "EMDS", "EMDS Menu Configurator", and "EMDS Map Clipper". The download must be synchronized before it is possible to run the other three applications since the "EMDS Synchronize" downloads the components of the other three applications along with localization information. Synchronizing in the future will allow the application, menus, and static datasets such as maps to be updated on your hard drive with the latest version on the website. If setup cannot find Java version 1.1.7B or newer on your system, it will be necessary to download the Java Runtime Environment, JRE, version 1.1.7B and expand it.
Download jre.exe 1.3.0_02 (Recommended since fastest and is partially tested. Note: semi-automatic installation may fail unless you "copy c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\jre\1.3.0_02\bin\java.exe c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\jre\1.3.0_02\bin\jre.exe" after the jre installation and before running "setup.exe")
Download jre.exe 1.1.7B (Most tested. May be needed for the semi-automatic installation to function.)
Archive of Java Runtime Environments (If the others fail)
On UNIX/Linux:
Make the script executable:
chmod 755 setup.sh
Run it:
./setup.sh
If the setup states that it cannot find a Java Development Kit or a Runtime Environment, please download from
your particular OS's website a supported Java 1.1 JDK or JRE and install that first before you run the setup again.
The following links for the various OSs may be useful:
Linux
Hewlett-Packard (HPUX)
Sun OS
On Unix, "setup.sh" will also create four scripts named "emdssync.sh", "emds.sh",
"emdsconfig.sh", and "emdsmapclip.sh".
Make the scripts executable:
chmod 755 emdssync.sh
chmod 755 emds.sh
chmod 755 emdsconfig.sh
chmod 755 emdsmapclip.sh
On Windows PCs:
Start the website synchronization by double clicking on the "EMDS Synchronize" desktop icon or select
"StartMenu->Programs->EMDS Synchronize".
On UNIX/Linux:
Start the website synchronization by typing "./emdssync.sh".
The download must be synchronized before it is possible to run the other three applications. The "emdssync.sh" script starts an application which downloads the components of the other three applications along with localization information. Synchronizing in the future will allow the application, menus, and static datasets such as maps to be updated on your hard drive with the latest version on the website.
On Windows PCs:
Start the application by double clicking on the "EMDS" desktop icon or select "StartMenu->Programs->EMDS->EMDS".
A dialog box listing the default website URL to which you'll connect will appear. If you want to go to another,
change it to the appropriate URL.
On UNIX/Linux:
Start the application by typing "./emds.sh".
Note: You may add your own menu items to include your shapefiles and GIF images by creating a local configuration file using the EMDS Configurator. See help documentation. Start the MenuConfigurator application by typing "./emdsconfig.sh".
Note: You may clip and compress your shapefile maps using the EMDS Map Clipper. See help documentation. Start the MenuClipper application by typing "./emdsmapclip.sh".
