Installation Instructions#

To install IDE Tau Alpha I:

• 1. Download and install QNX Momentics 6.3.2.
• 2. Download of the IDE integration builds from the Project Download area.
• 3. Save the ".zip" file you downloaded to a temporary directory. Use your favorite unzip program (such as "Winzip" on Windows, or using the "unzip" command on Linux) to extract the zip file.
• 4. Extract the zip file content. The extraction process creates an "eclipse" directory.
• 5. For Linux:
  • a.) Ensure that the "$QNX_HOST/usr/bin" appears at the beginning of the $PATH environment variable. You can include it by using this command:
    • export PATH=$QNX_HOST/usr/bin:$PATH
    • To verify where it appears in the $PATH variable, use the following command in a shell: "echo $PATH"
  • b.) Set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" by issuing this command:
    • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QNX_HOST/usr/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • c.) Disable "SELinux" if it is currently enabled.
    • Configure SELinux by launching "Desktop"->"System Settings"->"Security Level".
    • Click the SELinux tab, unselect "Enabled", then reboot your system.
  • d.) To launch the IDE, run "eclipse/qde".
• 6. For Windows:
  • a.) Ensure that "%QNX_HOST%\usr\bin" is included in the %PATH% environment variable. To verify where it appears in the $PATH variable, use the following command in a Windows command prompt:
    • set %PATH%
  • b.) To launch the IDE, run "eclipse\qde.exe".

After You Install#

After you install IDE Tau Alpha I, the first time you start the IDE on Windows, the Workspace Launcher dialog prompts you for a location to store your workspace. By default, the IDE offers to put your workspace in a sub-directory called "ide-tau-workspace". To store your workspace in another location, click "Browse" and select a directory for your workspace. To continue loading the IDE, click "OK".
