Downloading VA Smalltalk Version: General Information
Warning: Seaside cannot be loaded into an image containing ANY
previous version of Seaside
In general, each supported VA Smalltalk platform has three downloadable
components:
- Client
- Manager
- Server Runtime
Client — The Client component contains the VA Smalltalk
development IDE. You will need to install a client on each machine on which you
wish to develop VA Smalltalk applications.
You must download and install the correct client package for your workstation
operating system.
Manager — The Manager component contains the VA Smalltalk
manager file (mgr80.dat) and the EMSRV code used to access the manager file in a
team environment. The 'manager' is the code database used in conjunction with
the workstation client IDE. One manager can concurrently support multiple
clients. Therefore you will only need to install the manager one time on a
suitable server machine.
You must download and install the correct manager package for your server
machine's operating system. It does not have to match the client operating
system. A Linux manager install, for example, can concurrently service Windows,
AIX, Solaris, and Linux clients. The same is true for all of the other manager
installs..
Server Runtime — This is the runtime support needed for
deploying Smalltalk applications developed using VA Smalltalk. There is no
formal install program for Server Runtime. You simply use unzip to unpack the
runtime files and add your packaged Smalltalk application into the resulting
directory structure.
You must download and unpack the correct Server Runtime package for your
workstation operating system.
Notes:
- If you do not already have a suitable unzip program, then you can
download a no-charge unzip program such as the Info-ZIP unzip program. (
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ ). Please note that gunzip will not
work with the VA *.zip files. The VA *.zip files are multi-file archives;
gunzip is only designed to handle single compressed files.
- Please unzip client and manager zips on the same kind of machine that
you intend to install them on. Do not, for example, unzip a Solaris client
install onto a Windows machine.
- Complete install instructions, such as how to set up EMSRV, can be found
in the install guide. The install guide is in the doc directory of the
unzipped client or manager install directory tree:
- the UNIX client install guide is in cd_c/doc/instgd.htm
- the UNIX manager install guide is in cd_m/doc/instgd.htm
