This provides a quick way to install DDS applications on a single platform after installing the libraries. Download, unzip (gunzip) and untar the "app" file. For more detailed information on the applications installation go to Applications Installation.

1. Make sure all the DDS libraries are in place in ${DDSROOT}/lib/archdirs...
   
   
2. Make sure X/Motif is installed for several of the interactive applications. You can use either LessTif or OpenMotif also.
   
   
3. Install the Tiff library if you want tiff output capability for xsd. This is optional as xsd will detect whether it is available.
   
   
4. Go to the DDS root directory, ${DDSROOT}
   
   
5. Execute "make apps" from this root DDS directory to build AND install all the applications.
   
   
6. Go to the distribution directory under ${DDS_DIST}/bin and check for the startup scripts for each of the DDS applications. If any are missing, go to the associated directory under ${DDSROOT}/src/cmd/ and look at the "mklog..." file to discern what the problem is.
   
   
7. Add ${DDS_DIST}/bin to your ${PATH} environment to execute the applications.
   
   
8. If you need to clean up the applications and associated object files execute "make appsclean".
