• Antelope Release 5.10 Linux CentOS release 7.6.1810 (Core) 3.10.0 2020-05-12

 

NAME

setup.csh, setup.sh - set up Antelope environment variables

SYNOPSIS

source setup.csh

 . setup.sh

DESCRIPTION

The Antelope system requires setting some environment variables: ANTELOPE, PATH, and MANPATH. These scripts set up the environment for either csh-style shells or sh-style shells. Typically, the setup.csh file would be sourced from inside a user's .cshrc or .tcshrc file, while the setup.sh file would be sourced from the user's .profile or .bashrc.

ENVIRONMENT

setup.csh and setup.sh set the following environment variables:

setup.csh also sets the shell variables antelope and antelopemake as a convenience.

DIAGNOSTICS

These setup files also run check_antelope_installation(1), which may complain about improper installations.

SEE ALSO

antelopeenv(5)
check_antelope_installation(1)

BUGS AND CAVEATS

There are other Antelope environment variables which are not set by setup.csh and setup.sh. The user setting such variables must change them when changing to a different release -- i.e., changing from /opt/antelope/4.9 to /opt/antelope/4.10. Failure to update such variables may have confusing and unpredictable results. However, by using \$ANTELOPE rather than $ANTELOPE -- explicitly having the sigil (dollar sign) in the environment variable -- the user may avoid such problems. For example,

% setenv PFPATH '$ANTELOPE/data/pf:~/pf:.'

rather than

% setenv PFPATH $ANTELOPE/data/pf:~/pf:.
