First, make sure that you meet the minimum requirements for your platform, including the proper Java VM. Then install VisualRoute:
Windows: The download EXE is the install program for VisualPulse. Just run this program after downloading it.
UNIX: To install VisualPulse for UNIX, follow these steps:
- Login as root. You should be root user to install, but not to run VisualPulse.
(Refer to Appendix A in the appropriate Online Manual for 'running as a
user' notes.)
- Untar this file "tar -xf vip.tar" to create a directory in your
present directory of vip.
Windows: Go to Start / Programs / VisualPulse and
click on VisualPulse. If you are running under Win2000/XP/2003,
it is possible to configure VisualPulse to run as a Service.
UNIX: To run VisualPulse for Unix follow these steps. It is possible to configure VisualPulse to run as a daemon service that is started at system
boot. Refer to Appendix A of the Online Manual for details:
- Change to the install directory "cd vip".
- Make sure that the current directory ('.') is in the PATH environment
variable by typing "env | grep PATH". There may be perhaps two
or more environment variables that have PATH in them. If it's not already
there then set it with (assuming a Kourne shell) "PATH=$PATH:.; export
PATH". Note: You could also amend
the profile of the account that will be running VisualPulse to include ('.').
- If using a Java 1.1 Runtime Environment (JRE), type "jre vip" to
run VisualPulse. Otherwise, type "java vip".
