Moshell Installation - Windows

This document provides instructions for installing Moshell on Windows using Cygwin. It involves downloading and installing Cygwin, which provides a Unix emulation layer. Several packages need to be selected during Cygwin installation. Once Cygwin is configured, the user downloads the Moshell zip file and runs a script to install Moshell. The script prompts the user to select an installation type and directory. Running Moshell for the first time requires specifying the IP address as a parameter.

Installation for Windows:

When running on Windows, Moshell uses a unix emulator known as Cygwin.


Go directly to step 10 if you have already installed and configured cygwin
previously.
1- Download and execute the file www.cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
2- Choose "Install from internet", then click Next.
3- Root Directory "C:/cygwin" (It is not recommended to choose a different
directory, especially if it contains spaces).
4- Choose a Download Site. For instance http://sourceware.mirror.tds.net is known
to work well but probably others work fine too.
5- In the "Select Packages" menu "View", choose "Category", then add the
following packages:
- under "Archive", select "zip" and "unzip"
- under "Database", select "postgresql"
- under "Editors" select "vim" (optional)
- under "Graphics", select "gnuplot"
- under "Libs", select "libglib2.0_0"
- under "Net", select "curl", "inetutils", "openssh", "openssl"
- under "Perl", select "perl", "perl-XML-Simple", and "perl-IO-Tty"
- under "Python", select "python2"
- under "Tcl", select "expect"
6- Click Next. Install will start. Wait for installation to complete.
7- Download the file http://utran01.au.ao.ericsson.se/moshell/cygwin_install.txt to
C:/Cygwin .
8- Click on Start --> Run. In the "Run" window, type: cmd , then press "enter".
A DOS window opens. At the DOS prompt, execute the following commands:
c:
cd cygwin
bin\perl.exe cygwin_install.txt
This will create the following files: c:/cygwin/etc/profile, c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat,
c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.bashrc, c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.minttyrc,
c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.inputrc. If those files already exist, they are
automatically moved to the folder c:/cygwin/tmp/installbackup.
9- Open a cygwin terminal window by double-clicking on the cygwin icon in the
start menu or on the file c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat. The window should be black with
white text and the prompt should like this: [~]$
If not, then go through all the steps again and make sure you haven't missed out
anything.
10- Moshell installation:
- Download the moshellxxx.zip file from Moshell Home to c:/cygwin/home/youruser
- Open the cygwin shell and run the following commands:
>> unzip -o moshellxxx.zip
>> bash moshell_install
The first prompt asks for the type of installation:
0) Full Version
1) Restricted+
2) Restricted
3) Limited
Click here for information about the restricted versions.
When prompted to enter the directory where you want to install moshell, it is
recommended to specify your HOME directory ( ~ ). If you have executed
moshell_install from your home directory then you can press the enter key and the
current directory is selected.
If a previous moshell installation already exists, it is recommended to install in the
same directory as the old one. This way, all your custom files (jar/xml files, site
files, etc.) get copied across to the new revision and the old revision gets moved to
a different location so you can still access it if needed. When prompted to enter the
path to java just type "java" .
11- Running moshell for the first time:
If you have set the PATH variable correctly in your ~/.bashrc file, you should be
able to run moshell from any directory. E.g:
>> moshell ipaddress
