Site Management Software ("SMS for UNIX") installation instructions
Installing the software

Installing the "SMS for UNIX" software is very easy.  Just follow these simple installation instructions:

    1. Download the SMS software.
     
    2. Log into your Unix system as the 'root' user.
     
    3. Create an installation directory on your Unix system:
    mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/sms
    4. Copy the tar file to the Unix installation directory:
    cp sms.tar /usr/local/bin/sms
    5. Move to the installation directory:
    cd /usr/local/bin/sms
    6. Unpack the tar file in this directory:
    tar xvf sms.tar
    The "SMS for UNIX" software will install in this directory, and will create several subdirectories within this directory.
     
    7. Add the installation directory to your PATH variable.  If you're using the Bourne shell or Korn shell, you can change your PATH like this:
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/sms
    You should also add the installation directory to your .profile or .login file so it will be available the next time you log in.  Modify the PATH variable the same way in your .profile or .login file now.
     
    8. You're ready to run the program.  Just type 'sms' at your shell prompt, and the program should start properly.
