To use Flat, set the following variables in your UNIX environment. Note that different shells use different commands to set these variables.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| PATH | /u/robot/flat-root/flat4:${PATH} |
| CLASSPATH | /u/robot/flat-root/flat5/flat.jar |
Finally, copy /u/robot/flat-root/flat4/.flat to your home directory.
If you will use the LISP-based Flat Client, modify your .emacs file to support LISP.
If you will use the Java-based Flat Client, add /u/robot/flat-root/flat5/FlatClient.jar to your CLASSPATH.
