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.
