Unpacking and Installing

By default, jFTAis provided as a standard Unix tar file. To install it, proceed as follows:

1.
You must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.
2.
Create a toplevel directory, called ${TOP}in the following.
3.
Go to this directory and execute:
gzip -dc jfta-x.x.tar.gz | tar xvf -
This will create a directory structure jfta below ${TOP}.
4.
Go to the jfta directory and run configure there. This will compile the jFTAbase classes. If something goes wrong, check the subsection 2.4.1 below.
5.
Add ${TOP}to your Java CLASSPATH.
6.
Optionally, go to jfta/demo and run make all there to build the sample code.
7.
Proceed with the section 2.3 (Running the System).
