Setting up Geomatica as a full client of the license server

When you install Geomatica in Full Client mode on Linux operating systems, you set the environment variable
PCILICENSESERVER to point to the license server on your network. The license server contains the license
required to run Geomatica.
To set up Geomatica as a full client of the license server
Enable the environment PCILICENSESERVER variable.

For information about environment variables, see Setting the environment variables on page 21.
Uninstalling Geomatica
You must have administrator privileges to uninstall Geomatica on Linux operating systems.
Note: It is recommended that you back up or move any data that might be affected by the removal of
Geomatica. Only folders and files installed by Geomatica will be removed during the uninstall process.
To uninstall Geomatica
1. Navigate to the folder in which you installed Geomatica 2016.
2. To uninstall the software, type: rpm -e geomatica-2016
3. To uninstall the demo data, type: rpm -e geomatica-2016-data
Uninstalling the license server

Appendix
A
Setting the environment variables
This section describes the environment variables used for your installation.
The environment variables are set automatically during a Windows installation.
With Linux systems, the environment variables need to be set to provide you with access to the software.
The method of setting the variables varies between Linux systems that use C shell and those that use Bourne
shell. With a Linux system that uses csh (C shell), add the environment variables to each user's .cshrc file.
You may need to change some of the environment locations based on your specific computer. With a Linux
system that uses sh (Bourne shell), ksh (Korn shell), or bash (Bourne-Again shell), add the environment
variables to each user's .profile file (or equivalent). Examples are provided for each environment variable that
must be set.
When setting the environment variables, make sure you specify the location of the files and folders according
to your system configuration.
Aliases
In Linux, an alias can be set to create a shortcut to any PCI Geomatics program. The PCIHOME environment
variable must first be set, and then an alias can be set. For example, to create a shortcut to the Geomatica
toolbar, set the alias as follows:
alias geomatica $PCIHOME/exe/geomatica
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH variables
If a system library is not available with the operating system, PCI Geomatics provides some share objects
with the library path.
Use the examples below to set up the following environment variables.
With Linux (C shell):
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PCIHOME/exe
or
if ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH) then
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PCIHOME/exe
else
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $PCIHOME/exe
endif
setenv PATH $PATH:$PCIHOME/exe
With Linux (Bourne shell):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PCIHOME/exe
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH=$PATH:$PCIHOME/exe
export PATH
If you do not enter this path, the following error message may appear: excel file could not be found.
Note: The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is required if you want to run the executable directly
from the exe folder (that is, geomatica.exe). This variable is not required if you use the shell files to start
Geomatica.
ORACLE_HOME variable
The ORACLE_HOME variable is required to configure Geomatica to support Oracle 11g. To work with Oracle
data directly in Geomatica, make sure the system that you are using has a proper Oracle installation.
If you are accessing Oracle data from a server system, ensure that the system you are using has a proper
Oracle client installation. Check with your system (or database) administrator to find the location of the Oracle
home folder. Geomatica must know the Oracle home folder location to access and load the Oracle data.
When installing Oracle in Windows-based systems, the registry and path variables are all updated automatically.
In Linux systems, you must set up the following environment variables.
setenv ORACLE_HOME /client_name/oracle/OraHome1
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
setenv PATH $PATH:ORACLE_HOME/bin
Where /client_name/oracle/OraHome1 indicates the location of the Oracle home folder.
ORACLE_HOME=/client_name/oracle/OraHome1
export ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$PATH:ORACLE_HOME/bin
export PATH
PCIGROUP
This environment variable is intended for developers that want to access the procedures and executables
they have developed for Geomatica without copying them to the installed software tree. Executables and
ancillary files, located in the pro, hlp, exe, etc, and models folders, are first searched for in the PCI folder tree
pointed to by the PCIGroup environment variable, then in the PCIHOME tree, and finally in the PCI folder
tree pointed to by the following PCIMASTER variable.
The standard location of the PCIGROUP variable in Linux is:
Linux (C shell):
setenv PCIGROUP $PCIHOME/where you put your shared location
Linux (Bourne shell):
PCIGROUP $PCIHOME=where you put your shared location
setenv PCIGROUP <alternate_directory_path> for example, /opt/username/easi_procedures
With Linux (Bourne shell)
PCIGROUP <alternate_directory_path>
for example, /opt/username/easi_procedures
Note: The alternate folder must contain a subfolder named pro, in which you must copy all EASI procedure
files. The EASI file names must be in uppercase; for example, FILE1.EAS, FILE2.EAS, and so on.

PCI Geomatics

PCIHOME
You can use two types of PCIHOME environment variable with specific versions of Geomatica.
PCIHOME_VXXX: For Geomatica 2016 to function properly, this variable must be set. The PCIHOME
environment variable must point to where Geomatica 2016 is installed. This variable allows you to maintain
multiple versions of PCI Geomatics software on a single system. This variable can be set as follows.
setenv PCIHOME/opt/geomatica_20160
PCIHOME=/opt/geomatica_20160
export PCIHOME
PCIHOME: This is the default home variable for Geomatica. This variable can be used with any version
of Geomatica. If this variable is used, it must be set to the root of the folder tree where Geomatica 2016
is installed. The variable can be set as follows.
Note: Only PCIHOME or PCIHOME_VXXX need to be set. It is not necessary to set both.
PCILICENSEFILE
This variable is required for a standalone installation on Linux systems. The PCILICENSEFILE environment
variable must be set explicitly to the location where the valid License.PCI file resides. This location is normally
$PCIHOME/exe/License.PCI. The PCILICENSEFILE variable allows the software to point directly to the valid
License.PCI file (not to the folder containing the file, but to the file itself).
The PCILICENSEFILE variable can be set as follows.
setenv PCILICENSEFILE $PCIHOME/exe/License.PCI
PCILICENSEFILE=$PCIHOME/exe/License.PCI
export PCILICENSEFILE
PCILICENSESERVER
This variable is required for a full-client installation. If this variable does not exist, then it is assumed to be a
standalone installation; Geomatica will not search the local network for a license. If this variable is set, but
you want to disable it, set the variable to 'no-net'.
setenv PCILICENSESERVER servername
PCILICENSESERVER=servername
export PCILICENSESERVER
PYTHONPATH
This variable is required to use PCI functions in Python scripting.
setenv PYTHONPATH $PYTHONPATH:$PCIHOME/exe
PCI Geomatics
23

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PCIHOME/exe
export PYTHONPATH
PCIUSER
To maintain preferences from one session to another for each individual user, this variable should be set to
a folder to which the user has Write permission. This variable can be set as follows.
setenv PCIUSER ../usr/workingdirectory
PCIUSER=/usr/workingdirectory
export PCIUSER
