- This is the ftp readme for Common Music. You can get the newest
- release via anonymous ftp from either ftp.zkm.de (192.101.28.17)
- or ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu (36.49.0.93) in the pub/ directory:
-
- cm.tar.Z Unix archive, use also for Mac
- cm.zip DOS archive
-
- If you use Common Music on the Mac, take cm.tar.Z and also:
-
- macunix.sit.hqx
-
- which contains two utilities, MacCompress and Tar, for
- uncompressing and untarring unix tar.Z files on the Mac. Restore
- macunix.sit.hqx using the Macintosh Stuffit utility and then see
- the enclosed readme for more information.
-
- HOW TO USE ANONYMOUS FTP
-
- FTP only works if your computer is connected to the internet.
- Use the ftp command to connect to either ftp.zkm.de or
- ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu. Then login with the name:
-
- anonymous
-
- and password:
-
- user@host
-
- where user@host is your actual login name and location.
- Then type:
-
- cd pub
-
- to move to the ftp pub directory. Next type:
-
- bin
-
- to set the transfer mode to binary. Don't forget to do this!
- Then type:
-
- get cm.tar.Z
-
- to transfer the archive file to your machine. Once ftp notifies
- you that the transfer is complete (the transfer itself may take
- a very long time...) type:
-
- quit
-
- to exit from the ftp program. That't it!
-
- HOW TO RESTORE THE SOURCES
-
- First, make a new directory to restore the sources in. On Unix
- or DOS you can use the mkdir command:
-
- mkdir cm
-
- where cm is replaced by whatever directory name you want to use
- for the source directory. Note that if you are reinstalling
- Common Music, it is best to delete or move the current sources and
- reinstall in an empty directory. This is because the new archive
- may contain renamed files or a different directory structure.
- Next, move the ftp archive from wherever it currently is to the
- new source directory:
-
- Unix:
- mv cm.tar cm
- DOS:
- move cm.zip cm
-
- Note that the actual directory path to the cm.tar or cm.zip file
- as well as the name of the source directory will depend on what
- you have done in the preceding steps. Next change directories
- to the the new source directory:
-
- cd cm
-
- And then restore the archive:
-
- Unix:
- zcat cm.tar.Z | tar xvf -
- DOS:
- pkunzip -d cm.zip
-
- This restores all the sources from the archive file into the new
- source direcory. Ignore any warning message you see. Once the
- sources have been restored you may delete the archive or save it
- as a backup:
-
- Unix:
- rm cm.tar.Z
- DOS
- del cm.zip
-
- Then see Common Music's README file for further instructions about
- installing the system.
