Virtual Reality Toolbox

Installing from CD (UNIX/Linux)

The following is an overview of how to install the Virtual Reality Toolbox on a UNIX/Linux platform. If you have not installed any MathWorks products before, consult the installation guide for your platform for a more comprehensive explanation of the installation process:

1. Log in to your system.
2. Mount the CD-ROM drive.
3. Create a directory to be the mount point for the CD-ROM drive. For example:

• mkdir /cdrom
  

4. Create the installation directory and move into it using the cd command. For example, to install into the location /usr/local/matlab6p5, use these commands:

• cd /usr/local
  mkdir matlab6p5
  cd matlab6p5
  

1. Subsequent instructions in this book refer to this directory as $MATLAB.

   Note This installation directory might already exist if you have installed MATLAB on your system. In this case, move into the already existing directory using the cd command.

5. Move your license file, named license.dat, into the $MATLAB directory.

1. If you are upgrading an existing MATLAB installation, rename the license file in $MATLAB/etc directory. The installer does not process the new license file if it finds an existing license file in $MATLAB/etc.

6. Run the appropriate installation script for your platform.

• /cdrom/install* & (Sun, Alpha, SGI, and Linux platforms)
  

7. During the installation process, a screen similar to the following allows you to select the products to install.

1. This dialog box lists all the products you are licensed to install in the Items to Install box. Make sure the Virtual Reality Toolbox is listed in this box.

8. Follow the instructions on each of the remaining screens.

• Installation for the Virtual Reality Toolbox is complete.

The Virtual Reality Toolbox viewer is the default viewer for UNIX platforms. For more information, see Virtual Reality Toolbox Viewer.

If you are on a UNIX platform, the MATLAB editor is your default VRML editor. For more information, see VRML Editor (UNIX/Linux).
