Installation overview

To install a precompiled version of tnimage, type Install as root. If this doesn't work, tnimage can be installed manually as described here.

Tnimage uses several auxiliary files which by default are installed in the following directories:

tnimage /usr/local/bin/
tnimage.hlp /usr/local/lib/tnimage/
tnimage.1.gz /usr/man/man1
formats/* /usr/local/lib/tnimage/formats/
wavelets/* /usr/local/lib/wavelets/
plugins /usr/local/lib/tnimage/
scanners /usr/local/lib/tnimage/
umax /usr/local/lib/tnimage/
cameras /usr/local/lib/tnimage/
quickcam /usr/local/lib/tnimage/

In addition, 2 files are generated automatically and placed in the following directory, which is created if necessary:

fonts $HOME/.tnimage/
tnimage.ini $HOME/.tnimage/

(or $home/.tnimage/ if you are using csh or tcsh). The user must have read/write and execute permission on this directory.

The tutorial image files which are included with tnimage, and the manual may be installed wherever convenient.

The location for the help file and formats file can be changed if desired by editing the ``help_directory'' and ``format_list'' entries, respectively, in tnimage.ini. This permits advanced users to create their own new file formats, while still allowing a system administrator to create formats and make site-specific changes to the help file for regular users. Such changes might include, for example, the locations of the manual and tutorials and instructions for viewing them.
