To run the Introduction to AI tutorial code at home: 1. You need to install Java and SISC. SISC you can get from http://sisc.sourceforge.net/ You will need to set the SISC_HOME environment variable to the location where SISC is installed, and add to the PATH environment variable the directory where SISC is installed. 2. You need to install Javamail, which in turn requires JAF. You can get Javamail and JAF in a number of ways: - By installing the J2EE software from the School DVD - By downloading it from http://java.sun.com/ - By downloading the J2EE software from http://java.sun.com/ You will need to add to the CLASSPATH environment variable to path to the jars you have installed. 3. You need to copy the corpus to your computer. Copy all the files in /bham/common/courses/ai-intro/corpus 4. Edit corpus.scm so home is the directory where you have copied the corpus to. ------------------------------------------------------------ Setting environment variables: In Windows, you have to do something in the Control Panel > System. In Linux: You need to know which shell you are running. Open a terminal and type "ps -a". You should see a line saying "bash" or "tcsh". If you are running bash: You set an environment variable called FOO thus: export FOO=new_value If you want to add a value to an environment variable: export FOO=new_value:$FOO Make these changes in your .bash_profile file If you are running tcsh: You set an environment variable called FOO thus: setenv FOO new_value If you want to add a value to an environment variable: setenv FOO new_value:$FOO Make these changes in your .login file ------------------------------------------------------------ Other Notes: The setup commands are not standard Unix commands. They are utilities created by the School All Introduction to AI source code and installation instructions are in /bham/common/courses/ai-intro/source
