Putty is a program for accessing the shell of a Linux server through the internet. The shell is the Windows's equivalent of a command prompt.

Follow each step in consecutive order to properly build Farsight in Linux.

Contents

Putty

  • Right-click mouse button to paste

Important information about Linux

  • Case sensitive ("thisismypassword" is not the same thing as "ThisIsMyPassword")
  • Tab to auto-complete
  • Typing "pwd" gives the full path of the working directory
  • Ctrl-C will usually exit you if you accidentally entered a program.

Common Linux Commands

ls [dir] (list the contents of the [dir] directory. If you do not specify dir, it will list the contents of the current directory)
cd [dir] (change directory)
pwd (print working directory)
rm [file or dir] (removes that file or directory <must be empty>)
rm -Rf [file or dir] (removes that file or directory recursively; -R is for recursive, -f is for force)

Instructions to Run Putty

  1. Run putty.exe
  2. Specify the Host Name
  3. Type a name for the Saved Sessions and then hit Save
  4. Double-click on your saved session to run

  5. For the security alert that pops up, press "Yes." The shell will show up.
  6. Type in your login name
  7. Then type your password (the cursor will not move as you type this)

Helpful Shortcuts:

  • Right-click to paste in the shell.
  • Tab to auto-complete.

Download CMake

In the shell, type the following commands:

Note: the words highlighted in blue needs to be changed according to your info. 

mkdir /data/htcheung #replace htcheung with your username
cd /data/htcheung

Arrow-key down to cmake-2.8.5.tar.gz and hit Enter.

DownloadCmake.jpg

Then Save.

cd cmake-2.8.5
mkdir /data/cmake/
./configure --parallel=16 --prefix=/data/cmake #Input the number of threads your computer has
make -j16 
make install #CMake should now be installed in /data/cmake/

Download QT

cd /data/htcheung
mkdir /data/htcheung/qt
links http://qt.nokia.com/downloads

Scroll down and click on "tar.gz".
