Hello Kat,

Do you know which directory the Linux version of Euphoria was installed
into?  On my system I have it in:

    /usr/local/euphoria

but it could be anywhere.

A common possibility is that it has been installed somewhere in your home
directory.  Typing:

    cd
    find * -name "exu" -print

should help you find it in your home directory.

Ok assuming you now know where it has been installed (and for this example
I'm going to assume it is in /usr/local/euphoria) you need to type something
like this:

    EUDIR=/usr/local/euphoria
    export EUDIR
    PATH=$EUDIR/bin:$PATH
    export PATH

to set up your environment.  Now try running one of the demo programs.  For
example:

    cd $EUDIR/demo
    exu animal.ex

If that works then you can now write your own programs and run them via the
exu interpreter.

Note that each time you login into the system you will need to run:

    EUDIR=/usr/local/euphoria
    export EUDIR
    PATH=$EUDIR/bin:$PATH
    export PATH

To save having to type this in you can add these lines to a file in your
home directory so they are run automatically after each and every login.
The file to create/modify depends on the shell you are running but try the
following files first:

    .profile
    .bash_profile

To see if these files exist type:

    cd
    ls -al

Good luck!

Regards,

Andy Cranston.
