COVISE Installation Tips
These tips apply only to collaborators of IVL who intend to use the educational license of COVISE for non-profit purposes. Also, only the Linux version of COVISE is covered. There is a Windows version but when you decide to use it we can't give any support due to a lack of experience with it.
- Create an account for the COVISE installation, e.g., "covise".
- In /etc/passwd set the default shell for this account to /bin/tcsh.
- Download COVISE for your Linux distribution from the HLRS download page.
- Follow the installation instructions on that web site.
- Once installed, run "opencover" to see if it was successful. You should see a black window with the COVER menu.
- At this point you can only use COVISE's built-in menus. In the following steps we're going to add the ability to compile custom plug-ins.
