Installation Summary

1. Establish a root directory
2. Download the appropriated software for your OS into the root directory
3. Add the root directory into your system path
4. Customize the Finder script to reflect the local configuration

Establish a Root Directory

The name and location of a directory that will be the LitFinder root must be determined. This root directory will need to be added to your system path in a subsequent step.

Windows

---

The default value for root is c:\Finder.

Unix

---

There is no established default value for the Unix platform.

Download Software

The LitFinder software is available for download from SourceForge

Windows

---

The download is an executable file that automatically expands the contents of a Zip archive into a destination. The expansion routine will give the user an opportunity to override the root directory location.

Unix

---

The download is a compress tar file which should be decompressed and expanded into the established destination or root directory.

Update System Path

To enable the dual layer scripting to function and facilitate the use of this utility in various file system locations, it is recommended that the fully qualified path to the root directory be added to the system path.

If for some reason modifying the system path is not an option, a viable alternative is to edit all scripts and replace the relative references to scripts with fully qualified references.

Customize the Finder Script

Within the scripts directory is a base script upon which others are based. Its name is finder.bat on Windows and finder on Unix. This script must be edited to reflect the location of your Java Runtime Environment as well as the root directory established above.

Windows

---

set java=C:\progra~1\Java\jre7
set root=C:\Users\Z8364A\Documents\MyProj~1\FinderWS

Unix

To begin it may be necessary to modify the first line
#!/usr/bin/sh
to reflect where the shell program (sh) is stored on the local operating system.

then update the following:
java=/usr/java6_64/jre/bin
root=/opt/ebsi/share/websphere/tools/finder

Validate the Installation

LitFinder will run successfully on the built-in default values. So, after completing the steps above and assuring that the System Path update is in effect, issue the following command:

ipAddrFinder

and you should see something very similar to the following:
