cd <directory>

4. Extract the emlxu_install script from the tar file by typing

tar xf emlxu_kit-1.00x-sparc.tar emlxu_install

5. Install the kit by typing

./emlxu_install

6. The script removes any earlier verison of the emlxu utilities package. (If an earlier package is not found, this fact is indicated; skip to step 9.) The following text is displayed:

7. If an old package is installed, you are prompted to remove it:

Do you want to remove this package? [y,n,?,q]

8. Enter y. The following message is displayed:

9. The script expands the utilities kit .tar file and begins installing the new package. The following message is displayed:

<Expanding emlxu_kit-1.00x-sparc.tar>
<Adding new package>

10. The script installs the emlxu utilities package. The package is prepared for installation and you are prompted for confirmation by the following message:

Do you want to continue with the installation of <EMLXemlxu> [y,n,?]:

11. Enter y. The installation package provides running commentary on the installation process.

12. Examine the output for any errors or warnings. If the installation is successful, the following message is displayed near the end of the process:
