COVISE Installation Tips

These tips apply only to the educational license of COVISE, and cover only the Linux version of 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.
