How to install everything

In order to use this page, you need to have all the things listed in the "What you need" page. Now that you have all the materials, you need to do some slight tweaking. There are plenty of readme files available from the downloaded software, especially with geomview.

Some helpful hints

Make sure that the Perl scripts are listed in your path, otherwise Mosaic will not be able to run geomview and pass the necessary information to it.
The Perl scripts are currently for the Mosaic Web Browser only. We haven't seen any Netscape versions yet.
Make sure that the Perl interpretor is in the directory /usr/local/bin. If it isn't, change the appropriate lines in the Perl scripts.
Make sure that Geomview is in your path also.
