Installation 

UNIX Installation Procedure

The distribution of GEOTRANS for UNIX is packaged as a compressed tar archive named either unix_user.tgz or unix_dev.tgz. To install it:

  1. Create a directory to contain the distribution:

    % mkdir /home/geotrans

    You may replace /home/geotrans with whatever path you choose.

  2. Change your working directory to the directory you just created:

    % cd /home/geotrans

  3. Copy the archive from wherever it is located to the GEOTRANS home directory:

    % cp unix_user.tgz /home/geotrans

  4. Uncompress the archive using the Gnu unzip utility:

% gunzip unix_user.tgz

% tar xvf unix_user.tar

Windows Installation Procedure

(NOTE: To Run GEOTRANS in a Windows 64bit environment: Please Click Here)

The distribution of GEOTRANS for Windows is normally packaged as a ZIP archive named either win_user.zip or win_dev.zip. To install it (using DOS commands):

  1. Create a directory to contain the distribution:

C:\mkdir \geotrans

  1. Change your working directory to the directory you just created:

C:\cd \geotrans

  1. Copy the archive to the GEOTRANS directory.  For example:

C:\>cp D:\win_user.zip C:\geotrans

  1. Use PKUNZIP to unpack the archive. For example, if the archive is on drive A:

C:\GEOTRANS>pkunzip a:geotrans.zip

Of course, you may also use the Windows desktop to perform these steps, creating a GEOTRANS home directory, copying the ZIP archive into that directory, and then unzipping it.
