Re: [Citrus Perl] Problems installing citrus perl

[Citrus Support]

Hello,

The instructions for installation could perhaps be improved.

The Citrus Perl you have downloaded is for the Raspberry Pi. For Mac OS
X Lion you need.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/citrusperl/files/Perl%205.16.1/OSX/citrusperl-standard-51601-osx-i64-017.tar.gz/download


An example installation would be:

download load the above file.

Create the directory

/Users/yourname/citrusperl

Use finder to move the downloaded tar.gz file to /Users/yourname/citrusperl

Simply double click the tar.gz file in Finder to extract it.

In Finder, you should now see that you have the directory

/Users/yourname/citrusperl/perl


You can run the installation by opening the utilities application, again
simply by double clicking in Finder

/Users/yourname/citrusperl/perl/bin/Citrus Perl Utilities


Now, when you want to use Citrus Perl, you must set your environment to
use it.

If you open an instance of Terminal, you could then type the following:

perl -V

this would list all the detail of your default Perl, which will be the
Perl that is installed in Mac OS X as a default.


To switch to Citrus Perl for the current Terminal shell type the
following command.

. /Users/yourname/citrusperl/perl/bin/citrusvars.sh

Note that the command begins with a dot, a space, and then the full path
to a file.

After running the above command once, when you now do

perl -V

you should see details of the Citrus Perl installation. For a more
permanent setup you can set up a custom Terminal instance from the
preferences menu in Terminal that calls the citrusvars.sh command when a
Terminal of that type is opened.

Hope it helps

Regards

Mark
