Installing JSim under Linux:

  1. Availability:JSim supports Linux on i386 and AMD64(aka EM64T, X86_64) architectures via the JSim i386 Linux distribution. As of 1.6.75, separate Linux AMD64 and IA64 distributions were discontinued. The AMD64 distribtion was dropped because performance tests showed (surprisingly) that it ran slower than the i386 distribution (in 32-bit compatibility mode) on AMD64 machines. The IA64 distribution was dropped due to lack of a suitable test machine. IA64 users can still build an appropriate version via the JSim source distribution. If you are not sure which architecture you're running, you're probably running i386, but see the uname command ("man uname") to be sure. JSim distributions for Linux on other chip architectures (e.g. Sparc,PowerPC) are not yet available.
  2. Download a copy of the latest public release ( 1.6.81 ) for i386 , AMD64 or IA64 or the latest beta release ( 1.6.83 ) for i386 of the JSim zip archive for Linux.
  3. Unpack the .zip file using the ZIP utility of your choice in a directory of your choice, called INSTALLDIR in this document.
  4. Inside INSTALLDIR there is a sub-directory for JSim executable named linux_ARCH/bin when ARCH is i386, amd64 or ia64, depending upon the chip architecture. In the executable sub-directory are three shell scripts:

    jsim : the JSim GUI application;

    jsbatch : the JSim text-based batch application;

    jsfim : command-line based functional imaging application (versions 1.6.67 and above);

    jsserver : the JSim remote server computational engine.

    You should either add this sub-directory to your PATH or copy the executables themselves to a path-searchable directory on your system. You must also set the environment variable JSIMHOME to INSTALLDIR before starting either program. See your local Linux documentation on how to do this.

  5. Note that NSR is built and tested at NSR under Redhat EL Linux for Intel, and is known to be compatible in some degree with some older versions of Redhat. Users of other Linux distributions may need to adjust appropriately.
  6. See advanced administration for additional information, as needed.
