Installation
Note: The first step in any installation is to obtain and install a suitable Java2 JVM or JDK for your Operating System. See the links on the Download page.
On Linux (systems with RPM)
- Use the provided RPM on the download page.
- Make sure you are a member of the "uucp" group. This gives you
read/write access to the serial ports. Otherwise, you will need
to 'chmod 666' the serial device used by the Pronto.
On Windows (Easy Way - bundled JVM)
- Use the provided EXE installer on the download page.
On Windows (Hard Way - custom JVM)
- Use the provided ZIP file on the download page.
- Make sure you have a current copy of WinZip.
- Unzip the ZIP file into it's permanent location.
- If you chose the IBM JVM, edit the "tonto.bat" startup script in the tonto/bin directory. Use this to launch Tonto.
- If you chose the Sun JVM, launch Tonto by double-clicking on the "tonto.jar" file in the tonto/bin directory.
- If "jar" files are not automatically associated with the Java VM (i.e. will not launch), there is a "sample.bat" included in the distribution that you can customize to launch Tonto.
On Macintosh OS X
- Use the provided SIT file on the download page.
- Move Tonto.app to it's permanent location.
- On multi-user systems (ones where you are not Administrator),
make sure you are a member of the "uucp" group. This gives you
read/write access to the serial ports. Otherwise, you will need
to 'chmod 666' the serial device used by the Pronto.
Other Unix/Linux
- Use the provided tar.gz on the download page.
- Untar the file into /usr/share
- Obtain and install the JavaComm serial communications library for your JVM.
- Edit the "tonto.sh" startup script in the tonto/bin directory. Use this to launch Tonto.
- Make sure you are a member of the "uucp" group. This gives you
read/write access to the serial ports. Otherwise, you will need
to 'chmod 666' the serial device used by the Pronto.
