The UNIX/Linux installation is provided as a gzipped tar distribution (e.g.
vida-3.0.0-redhat-9.0-i586.tar.gz). The first step is to determine
where VIDA will be installed. We recommend /usr/local. Next move the
installation file to that directory and untar the file using the following
commands:
tar -zxvf vida-3.0.0-redhat-9.0-i586.tar.gz
This will create an openeye directory where VIDA will be installed.
The executable can be found in the openeye/bin directory. It is worth
considering adding /usr/local/openeye/bin (or wherever it is installed)
to the PATH environment variable so that it can be executed from
anywhere without having to specify the full installation path.
To uninstall VIDA, simply remove the executable from the openeye/bin
direcctory. Nothing else is required. New versions can be installed directly
over previous versions.
