To manually install TinyOS, using the provided packages, you need to do the following:

REMOVE ALL TRACES OF PREVIOUS TOOLS (they will only cause problems).

Please see uninstall.html.

WINDOWS INSTALLATION (Win 2K and XP)

Download and install Sun's 1.4 JDK, from http://java.sun.com

Download our cygwin package from
http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tools/windows/tinyos-cygwin-1.1.zip
unzip this, and run the install.bat script
Download and install Sun's javax.comm package from
http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/
and install it as follows (instructions for a cygwin shell), assuming you install JDK in c:\Program Files\jdk:
- unzip javacomm20-win32.zip
- cd commapi
- cp win32com.dll "c:\Program Files\jdk\jre\bin"
- chmod 755 "c:\Program Files\jdk\jre\bin\win32com.dll"
- cp comm.jar "c:\Program Files\jdk\jre\lib\ext"
- cp javax.comm.properties "c:\Program Files\jdk\jre\lib"

Download graphviz from
http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tools/windows/graphviz-1.10.exe
and install it by executing it.

Download the following rpms from http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tools/windows (if the links do not work, check this directory for newer versions):

avarice-2.0.20030825cvs-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm
avr-binutils-2.13.2.1-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm
avr-gcc-3.3tinyos-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm
avr-insight-pre6.0cvs.tinyos-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm
avr-libc-20030512cvs-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm

and from http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/windows (again, if the links do not work, check this directory for newer versions):

nesc-1.1-1w.cygwin.i386.rpm
tinyos-tools-1.1.0-1.cygwin.i386.rpm
tinyos-1.1.0-1.cygwin.noarch.rpm

and install them with "rpm --ignoreos -ivh *.rpm" in the directory where you saved the files (in a cygwin shell). This will take a while (the tinyos package installation includes compiling the java code). TinyOS is installed in /opt/tinyos-1.x.
You're done! Check the documentation in /opt/tinyos-1.x/doc/index.html for more information. See Installing and Updating Packages if you want to install further packages.

LINUX INSTALLATION (Redhat 9):

Download and install IBMs 1.4 JDK and javax.comm rpms, currently at
https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/ is a good starting point if this link changes)
- select the IBM SDK for 32-bit xSeries (Intel compatible)
- you will have to register
- download the IBMJava2-SDK and IBMJava2-JAVACOMM rpms, and install them

Download the following rpms from http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tools/linux (if the links do not work, check this directory for newer versions):

avarice-2.0.20030825cvs-1.i386.rpm
avr-binutils-2.13.2.1-1.i386.rpm
avr-gcc-3.3tinyos-1.i386.rpm
avr-insight-pre6.0cvs.tinyos-1.3.i386.rpm
avr-libc-20030512cvs-1.i386.rpm
graphviz-1.10-1.i386.rpm

and from http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/linux (again, if the links do not work, check this directory for newer versions):

nesc-1.1-1.i386.rpm
tinyos-tools-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm

and install them with "rpm -ivh *.rpm" in the directory where you saved the files.
Change the permissions on /dev/ttyS<n> to 666 for all serial ports you will use with TinyOS.
Change the permission on /dev/parport0 to 666 if you plan to program motes via the parallel port (this will allow uisp to access the port).
Download the tinyos rpm from (again, check the tinyos/linux directory of the link doesn't work)
http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/linux/tinyos-1.1.0-1.noarch.rpm
install this rpm with

rpm -ivh TINYOSDIR --prefix tinyos-1.1.0-internal3.1.noarch.rpm
cd TINYOSDIR; chown -R USER.GROUP tinyos-1.x

This will install TinyOS in TINYOSDIR/tinyos-1.x), for user USER (with group GROUP). Installing this rpm will take a while as the java code will be compiled.
Note that this only allows one TinyOS source tree per machine, see the directions for using a CVS-based tree if you need several distinct source trees.
You're done! Check the documentation in /opt/tinyos-1.x/doc/index.html for more information. See Installing and Updating Packages if you want to install further packages.

INSTALLING AND UPDATING PACKAGES

The http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/linux and http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/windows directories contain a number of optional packages you can install if you wish. In the future, they will also contain updates to the core tinyos rpms. Just download the appropriate rpms, and install them with rpm -ivh <rpm file name> (first installation) or rpm -Uvh <rpm file name> (upgrade).
