LIVE Server Installation Instructions: AIX

LIVE Server Installation

Root install

If you are an administrator on the machine on which you will install the LIVE Server, it is recommended that you use the root installation. This will automatically check dependencies, and install the server into the place where all users can use it.

Download the LIVE Server root package
Run the command as root: rpm -i LIVEServer-version-build.os.arch.rpm
Launch your LIVE Session from your LIVE Client (X-Win32, LinuxLIVE, MacLIVE etc)

Non-root install

The non-root installation is a compressed tar file, which will typically be installed in your $HOME directory in a sub directory named 'LIVEServer.' which needs to be added to the Remote Server Interface Program on the client.

Download the LIVE Server nonroot package
Extract the file: tar xzf LIVEServer-version-build.os.arch. tar.gz
On the client side (X-Win32, LinuxLIVE, MacLIVE etc), edit the Remote Server Interface Program to point to the path of LIVEServer/bin/rxlaunch6 sci
Launch your LIVE Session from your LIVE Client (X-Win32, LinuxLIVE, MacLIVE etc)

Notes

The LIVE server starts automatically when a LIVE client connects. The client runs the 'sci' program, which in turn starts rxserver, if it isn't already running. Communication between the LIVE components on the server are through files and named sockets in a directory named .nx in your home directory, which is created automatically. You do not need to start anything after installation. It will automatically exit when you terminate your last running session.

For security reasons, each user runs his own instance of the LIVE server.
