Installation of the Petrinet tool TkINA At the present time we provide TkINA for Sparc-Solaris 2.x (abbreviated as 'solaris') and Linux with the new glibc (abbreviated as 'linux_glibc'). Installation of TkINA involves the following steps. 1. Download the file: tkina_operating-system.tar.gz (Note: 'operating-system' must be replaced by one of the abbreviations mentioned above.) from our Web-Page http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/lehrstuehle/automaten/tools/ 2. Uncompress it with 'gzip -d tkina_operating-system.tar.gz' obtaining the file 'tkina_operating-system.tar' 3. Untar this file with 'tar -xvf tkina_operating-system.tar'; a directory 'TkINA' with several subdirectories is created (make sure no file or directory called 'TkINA' is present before executing this step). Note: If you have GNU tar (for instance, as 'gtar') you may combine steps 2 and 3 by typing 'gtar -xvzf tkina_operating-system.tar.gz'. 4. Set an environment variable 'TKINA_HOME' to the name of the new directory. If you use 'csh' you can include the following line in your '.cshrc' file: setenv TKINA_HOME pathname/TkINA If you use 'bash' you can include the following line in your '.profile' file: export TKINA_HOME="pathname/TkINA" You can set 'TKINA_HOME' temporary by typing one of these commands at the shell prompt. 5. Add the subdirectory '$TKINA_HOME/bin' to your path. If you use 'csh' you can include the following line in your '.cshrc' file: set path = ($path $TKINA_HOME/bin ) If you use 'bash' you can include the following line in your '.profile' file: export PATH=$PATH:$TKINA_HOME/bin 6. Now you may invoke TkINA from any directory by typing 'tkina' at the prompt. Notes: 1. To use TkINA you need Tcl (Version 7.6 or 8.0 and higher) and Tk (Version 4.2 or 8.0 and higher). Be sure to set 'TCL_LIBARY' and 'TK_LIBRARY'. 2. You may have problems with older versions of linux. 3. It is a beta version. 4. inatcl is a tcl-based interface to (some) functionality provided by TkINA. It allows to write simple applications using the interpreted scripting language tcl. inatcl is included in 'tkina_operating-system.tar.gz'. You may invoke it by typing 'inatcl' at the prompt.
