JANET Multicast Beacon Server

Running beacon software version 1.3.0: download here

Installation instructions in the INSTALL file once you have untarred the bundle.

To Untar, download the tar.gz file above and then do:

gunzip beacon*gz
tar -xvf beacon*tar

This will put the beacon software bundle in the directory {current-directory}/beacon-1.3-0

cd into that directory and read the INSTALL file or follow the brief instructions below.

if you are root on the host you are installing on, and you want to use the default settings run:
./configure

if you are NOT root on the host you are installing on run:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/directory

(If configure fails with an error relating to a tar or gz file, gunzip and untar the common-(version).tar.gz file in the current directory)

Then for root and non-root installatons run:
make
make install
cd /path/to/install/directory
cd bin
chmod +x beacon
./beacon

If you get an error relating to libraries, you will need to change the first few lines underneath the comments in the beacon perl file to reflect the location of your libraries. See the beacon file itself for details.
