Downloading and Installation

First, download the package from ftp://sunsite.berkeley.edu/pub/swish-e/ .

1. Put the SWISH-E package (swish-e.1.tar.Z, swish-efiles.1.tar.Z) on your computer
2. Uncompress them (perhaps type uncompress swish-e*)
3. Untar it (perhaps type tar -xvf swish-e*)
4. Go into the swish-e directory
5. Read the README file for compilation instructions

Everything was written in C, so it should work just about anywhere. It has been tested on the following systems: Solaris 2.5.1 (on a Sun SPARCcenter 2000E), Digital UNIX (on a DEC Alpha), and BSDI 2.0.

The swish-e program can go under /usr/local/bin - you may want to put other SWISH-E things somewhere such as /usr/local/httpd/swish-e, if you're using NCSA's httpd. You'll also want to create a directory to hold SWISH-E databases, somewhere like /usr/local/httpd/swish-e/sources. You can store the files anywhere you like, as long as you remember where they are!

After you've compiled (and installed) SWISH-E, make sure the swish-e program is somewhere in your executable path (somewhere such as /usr/local/bin).
