INSTALLATION
------------

    This software distribution consists of a single directory,
    HUGIN_LITE.<platform>, containing all files necessary to use the
    Hugin software.  When you unpacked the distribution, you created
    this directory.  The README file you are currently reading is
    placed in this directory.


 1. Installing the files.  A common choice is to install in /usr/local.
    Assuming there is no HUGIN_LITE.<platform> directory in /usr/local,
    unpack the distribution tar-file there.

	% cd /usr/local
	% gunzip -c HUGIN_LITE.<platform>.tar.gz | tar xvf -

    You may want to rename the HUGIN_LITE.<platform> directory.  A common
    choice is to name it "hugin".  Assuming there is no file or directory
    in /usr/local named "hugin":

	% mv HUGIN_LITE.<platform> hugin


 2. Define the environment variable HUGINHOME.

    In order to use this software, you must tell it where to find the
    help files.  You do this by setting the HUGINHOME environment variable
    in your shell startup file.

    If you are using the C-shell, insert the following line in the
    ".cshrc" file in your home directory.

	setenv HUGINHOME /usr/local/hugin

    (assuming /usr/local/hugin were chosen as the directory name in step 1)

    If you are using a shell compatible with the Bourne shell, insert the
    following lines in the shell startup file:

	HUGINHOME=/usr/local/hugin
	export HUGINHOME

    The `sh' and `ksh' shells use "$HOME/.profile" as the startup file; and
    the `bash' shell uses "$HOME/.bashrc" as the startup file.


 3. The java interpreter (the `java' command) must be in your search path.
    If necessary, edit your shell settings of the `path' variable.
