A Coda client can be run on any workstation that has kernel support for Coda in its kernel. Supported UNIX™-like platforms are currently Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Linux. Install RPMS using following commands:
# rpm -Uvh lwp-release.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh rvm-release.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh rpc2-release.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh coda-debug-client-release.i386.rpm
FreeBSD. Build and install coda5_client port from /usr/ports/net/coda5_client:
# cd /usr/ports/net/coda5_client # make # make install
NetBSD. Build and install coda5_client source package from /usr/pkgsrc/net/coda5_client:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/coda5_client # make # make install
Windows95/98. Install Coda client by running ??????.
Currently, client files for the supported platforms are installed into the following directories:
Linux.
user applications - /usr/bin;
system binaries - /usr/sbin;
other files - /etc.
FreeBSD.
user applications - /usr/local/bin;
system binaries - /usr/local/sbin;
other files - /usr/local/etc.
NetBSD.
user applications - /usr/local/bin;
system binaries - /usr/local/sbin;
other files - /usr/local/etc.
Windows95/98.
All executables can be found in the directory C:\usr\coda\bin.
Note: Please make sure your PATH environment variable is set properly for your platform. That is, ensure FreeBSD has /usr/local/{bin,sbin} and NetBSD has /usr/pkg/{bin,sbin} in its default search paths. Linux installs Coda into the default system paths, so Linux should not need its default search path modified.
