----------------------
System Requirements
----------------------

FenForm's requirements are quite minimal.  Any
PC running Linux with 64MB RAM and 64MB of disk
space available should be more than adequate -
depending on how many form files you have.

To use FenForm, you will need the pslib library
and Ghostscript.  The other libraries used by
FenForm are standard in most major Linux
distributions but may need to be installed.  
Both pslib and Ghostscript are incuded on the
CD.


----------------------
Installation
----------------------

The PACKAGES directory contains some pre-compiled
versions ready to be installed using the relevant
package manager.

The /opt directory contains a complete FenForm
installation so its contents can simply be copied
to the /opt directory on your file system -

e.g. (as root)

	mount /dev/(cd-drive) /mnt/cdrom
	cp -a /mnt/cdrom/opt/fenform /opt
	umount /mnt/cdrom

 

----------------------
Build from source
----------------------

As "root" -

a) Unpack the source tarball - 

	tar -zxvf fenform-2.0.tar.gz


b) compile distribution

	cd fenform-2.0/src
	make build


c) install the files

	make install

Steps b & c can be combined by typing "make all".


----------------------
Post Installation
----------------------

Whichever method you choose to install FenForm,
you may need to add /opt/fenform/bin to your PATH
or create links to the programs in a directory
already in your PATH such as /usr/local/bin

See the User Guide for details of configuring FenForm.
