Weasel
Unpacking and Installation
(Copyright 1999-2004 Interactive Information Ltd)

To install this Weasel package you need only unpack it in a location which can be seen by your web server. For an initial investigation you may want to unpack it in some temporary place (for instance in your My Documents folder or home directory) and look at the contents before deciding on a final place to put it.

On windows you will need to use a program such as winzip to unpack the package. You must make sure the folders contained in the package are all recreated: some Windows applications will put all the files on one big folder if not told otherwise.

On Unix you should use a command like

If you downloaded overlaid_distribution.tgz:

$ tar xfz overlaid_distribution.tgz
$ zcat overlaid_distribution.tgz | tar xf -

If you downloaded overlaid_distribution.zip:

$ unzip overlaid_distribution.zip

When you have unpacked the distribution you will have a folder called overlaid_distribution which contains two things:

• a file index.html, which you should read with your favourite web browser, and
• a folder called overlaid which contains the actual Weasel package, and which you must put somewhere it can be accessed via your web server.
