This the INSTALL file for DrumPatterns.

The lines witch begin with a "$" are command you have to run without
the "$", of course..

tclmidi is  needed for  the 0.5x releases.   the i486  lib is  already
there. For  an  other platform, try  to  compile  the tclmidi  lib and
replace it in the lib/tclmidi directory.


To install DrumPatterns on a Unix OS it is classical :

0) I supposed yo downloaded an archive called  "DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz"

1) go in the directory where you want to install it
$ cd /Path/where/you/want/to/install/it/

2) Check the archive :
$ gzip -t DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz

See how it will be extracted . The root path is "./DrumPatterns"
so you can put it anywhere you want.

$ tar tzvf DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz
or
$ gunzip -c DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz | tar tvf -

3) Extract the archive

$ tar xzvf DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz
or
$ gunzip -c DrumPatterns-x.xx.tgz | tar xvf -

4) Go into the DrumPatterns directory
$ cd DrumPatterns

5) What you can do:
Type make and read the output :-)

$ make

Ok ?

6) Build the doc (Not needed)

You do not need to do "make html" and "make psdoc" because they are
already done.  But if you have sgml-tools and lynx try this:

$ make alldoc

7) Small but important tests (Needed, I think)

You "must" do this and read the output.
$ make test


8) Make a link from your Home Page to the file ./index-en.html 

9) Run a web browser and start reading with the ./index-en.html file.


10) Edit the file etc/sequencesHTML.conf to adjust the
configuration. If you let it as is, it is safe.


That's all folks !
