Installing Berkeley SIS 1.3

This document provides instructions on how to install SIS. Please refer to Homework #1 for instructions on how to execute and use SIS. More clarifications and details on SIS are given in the Documentation section below.

Installing SIS 1.3 on Acis (CUNIX) machines

Download the executable binaries here (SIS 1.3 Solaris binary, Espresso Solaris binary.) Change the permissions of both to allow execution (x).
You also need to download the espresso example files. Please see the Espresso examples section below.

Installing SIS 1.3 on Linux machines

Download the compiled binaries. (SIS 1.3 Linux binaries)
Make a separate directory, e.g. sis1.3, and unzip the tar file to that directory using the following commands.
```
 mkdir sis1.3 
 cd sis1.3
 tar xvf sis1.3-linux.tgz 
```
Executables (including espresso) can be found in sis1.3/bin. Change the permission of espresso excutable to allow execution (x).
Espresso example files can be found in sis1.3/espresso/ex and sis1.3/espresso/examples. You can also download example files in the Espresso examples section.

Installing SIS 1.2 on Windows machines

Download the executable binaries. These programs can be executed in a "Command Prompt" window. (SIS 1.2 Windows binary, Espresso Windows binary)
You also need to download the espresso example files. Please see the Espresso examples section below.

Note that the version of SIS for Windows is 1.2. However, this would not be a problem for Homework #1 since all the distributed Espresso programs (Linux, CUNIX, Windows) have the same version (2.3).

Note:

If you have a CS account and wish to work remotely, log in to a CLIC machine (e.g. ssh to clic.cs.columbia.edu), which are Linux machines. Then follow the steps in section Installing SIS 1.3 on Linux machines.

Espresso examples

test1.pla file referred to in Homework #1 Problem 1.
If you install espresso on CUNIX or Windows platform, you need to download espresso examples here. If you have a problem with unpacking the gzipped tar file, you can download individual examples here.
If you have installed SIS 1.3 on your linux box, espresso example files can be found in sis1.3/espresso/ex and sis1.3/espresso/examples.
