In order to run Lime, you will need an installation of Java 1.2 or higher.
See Sun's page for
information about how to download and install Java. After this and downloading Lime itself, the installation of Lime is
fairly straightforward. Essentially, it consists of unpacking the tarball and
setting the CLASSPATH
. A little bit more detail is provided
below.
limejars1.xx.tar.gz
in a directory of your choice, e.g.,
C:\myDir
. Tools like WinZip, or cygwin's tar
will do just fine.
lime.jar
to your CLASSPATH
environment variable:set CLASSPATH = %CLASSPATH%;C:\myDir\lime.jar
setenv CLASSPATH $CLASSPATH:/myDir/lime.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/myDir/lime.jar
lights.jar
in your CLASSPATH
.
mucode.jar
in your CLASSPATH
. Although a version of is available in the Lime download, you
should consider
downloading the most up to date version of and follow its
installation
instructions.
McastTest.java
. If you compile and run this application (by
simply executing java McastTest
) on each of the hosts which you
hope to include in the Lime community, you will be able to tell if they can
send and receive multicast packets. For more detail about the expected output
of this program, see the header in the source of McastTest.java
.
