Contents of the Distribution

The TTT system is distributed as LT TTT and is available for free to individuals, researchers and development teams, provided its usage is restricted to non-commercial purposes. Electronic signature of a research licence agreement will return an email message with details of how to download the LT TTT tar file, ttt.v1.0.tar.gz. The binary executable files contained in this distribution were compiled under Solaris 2.5. A Windows NT/95 version is not currently available but we hope to provide one in a future release.

Unpacking and Installing

First, put the tar file ttt.v1.0.tar.gz in the directory where you want the TTT system to be located and then unpack it using the following steps:

your-dir>> gunzip ttt.v1.0.tar.gz
your-dir>> tar xfp ttt.v1.0.tar

This will put the TTT system in <your-dir> in a directory named TTT_v1.0.

Second, set the environment variable $TTT to the full path to the directory TTT_v1.0:

setenv TTT <full_path_to_TTT_v1.0>

If you want this to persist across sessions, add the above line to your .cshrc file (or equivalent).

Third, edit the file $TTT/RES/common-ent and change the line

<!ENTITY TTTDIR    "/projects/ltg/users/grover/TTT/TTT_v1.0" >

so that it contains your full path to TTT_v1.0.

These three steps are sufficient to allow you to run the TTT software both from within the TTT_v1.0 directory and from elsewhere in your directory structure.
