Installation for Unix (Solaris/Linux):

Download the moshellxxx.zip file from Moshell Home to your home directory (e.g. /home/youruser) or to the temp directory (/tmp).
Very important: do not store the zip file inside the moshell folder otherwise the installation will be corrupted.
Then go to the folder containing the zip file (cd /paht/to/folder) and run the following commands:
>> unzip -o moshellxxx.zip
>> bash moshell_install
The first prompt asks for the type of installation:
0) Full Version
1) Restricted+
2) Restricted
3) Limited
Click here for information about the restricted versions.
When prompted to enter the directory where you want to install moshell, it is recommended to specify your HOME directory ( ~ ). If a previous moshell installation already exists, it is recommended to install in the
same directory as the old one. This way, all your custom files (jar/xml files, site files, etc.) get copied across to the new revision and the old revision gets moved to a different location so you can still access it if
needed.

Note: In the case of AMOS installation use option "-a", ie "bash moshell_install -a" (must be run as root on OSS masterserver).

Running moshell for the first time:


If you have set the PATH variable correctly in your ~/.bashrc file, you should be able to run moshell from any directory. E.g:
>> moshell ipaddress
If this is the first time moshell is installed in this location, then it will download a number of jar files from the node. No progress indicator will be shown so just be patient as it will take a few minutes.
Progress can be seen by doing "ls -l" in the commonjars and jarxml directories.

Installation for Windows:

When running on Windows, Moshell uses a unix emulator known as Cygwin.


Go directly to step 13 if you have already installed and configured cygwin previously.
1- Go to the website www.cygwin.com
2- Click on "Install Now"
3- Save the setup.exe file, then execute it.
4- Choose "Install from internet", then click Next.
5- Root Directory "C:/cygwin" (It is not recommended to choose a different directory, especially if it contains spaces).
If prompted for "Default Text File Type", choose UNIX (not DOS). Then click Next.
6- Select Internet Connection: put the proxy settings or select "use IE settings". Then click Next.
7- Choose a Download Site.
8- Select Packages: Add the following packages:
     - under "Archive", select "zip" and "unzip"
     - under "Perl", select "perl" and "perl-XML-Simple"
     - under "Net", select "inetutils", "openssh", "openssl"
     - under "Shells", select "rxvt VT102"
     - under "Utils", select "file"
     - under "Editors" select "vim" (optional)
9- Click Next. Install will start. Wait for installation to complete.
10- Download the file http://utran01.au.ao.ericsson.se/moshell/cygwin_install.txt to C:/Cygwin .
11- Click on Start --> Run. In the "Run" window, type: cmd , then press "enter".
A DOS window opens. At the DOS prompt, execute the following commands:
c:
cd cygwin
bin\perl cygwin_install.txt
This will create the following files: c:/cygwin/etc/profile, c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat, c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.bashrc, c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.Xdefaults, c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.inputrc. If those files
already exist, they are automatically moved to the folder c:/cygwin/tmp/installbackup.
12- Open a cygwin terminal window by double-clicking on the cygwin icon in the start menu or on the file c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat. The window should be black with white text and the prompt should like this: [~]$
If not, then go through all the steps again and make sure you haven't missed out anything.
13- Moshell installation:
- Download the moshellxxx.zip file from Moshell Home to c:/cygwin/home/youruser
- Open the cygwin shell and run the following commands:
>> unzip -o moshellxxx.zip
>> bash moshell_install
The first prompt asks for the type of installation:
0) Full Version
1) Restricted+
2) Restricted
3) Limited
Click here for information about the restricted versions.
When prompted to enter the directory where you want to install moshell, it is recommended to specify your HOME directory ( ~ ). If you have executed moshell_install from your home directory then you can press
the enter key and the current directory is selected.
If a previous moshell installation already exists, it is recommended to install in the same directory as the old one. This way, all your custom files (jar/xml files, site files, etc.) get copied across to the new revision
and the old revision gets moved to a different location so you can still access it if needed. When prompted to enter the java directory, choose /cygdrive/c/Progra~1/javasoft/jre/whichEverVersion/bin/java or
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/java
14- Running moshell for the first time:
If you have set the PATH variable correctly in your ~/.bashrc file, you should be able to run moshell from any directory. E.g:
>> moshell ipaddress
If this is the first time moshell is installed on this PC, then it will download a number of jar files from the node. No progress indicator will be shown so just be patient as it will take a few minutes. Progress can be
seen by doing "ls -l" in the commonjars and jarxml directories.
15- If the following error occurs when executing moshell on Vista:
fatal error - unable to remap C:\cygwin\home\xxx\moshell\commonjars\lib\file.dll to same address as parent
--> download the files http://utran01.epa.ericsson.se/moshell/fixvista.txt and http://utran01.epa.ericsson.se/moshell/fixvista.bat to the desktop
--> execute the fixvista.bat file
