The tarball version of the OT must be installed manually and does not automatically update itself when a new version is released. However, if there are problems with Web Start, it provides a backup installation method that should always work. In addition, a download of the OT is provided for Linux users that comes together with a recommended version of Java (32- and 64-bit systems are now supported). Please use this if you have any problems running the OT tarball install with your default Java.
To install the OT using the tarball distribution please the follow the steps given below.
The post-installation setup for Linux and Mac OS is as follows:
> cd ALMAOT-Cycle4/setup > ./Setup-Linux.sh > cd ..The setup is very similar for Windows except that the file that must be run will be named Setup-Windows, or Setup-Windows.cmd.
