Install T2T

T2T is a Java tool, so you must have Java installed in order to proceed. Users need at least the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), the Java Development Kit (JDK) is a plus.

Additional optional installation steps are listed after the platform specific instructions.

Windows 2000/XP

  1. Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. t2t-1.0-bin.zip> to the directory you wish to install T2T. These instructions assume you chose C:\Program Files\99soft. The subdirectory t2t-1.0-bin will be created from the archive.
  2. Add the T2T_HOME environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the Advanced tab, and the Environment Variables button, then adding the T2T_HOME variable in the user variables with the value C:\Program Files\99soft\t2t-1.0. Be sure to omit any quotation marks around the path even if it contains spaces.
  3. In the same dialog, add the T2T environment variable in the user variables with the value %T2T_HOME%\bin.
  4. In the same dialog, update/create the Path environment variable in the user variables and prepend the value %T2T% to add T2T available in the command line.
  5. In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME exists in your user variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02 and that %JAVA_HOME%\bin is in your Path environment variable.

Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)

  1. Extract the distribution archive, i.e. t2t-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install T2T. These instructions assume you chose /usr/local/99soft/t2t-1.0. The subdirectory t2t-1.0 will be created from the archive.
  2. In a command terminal, add the T2T_HOME environment variable, e.g. export T2T_HOME=/usr/local/99soft/t2t-1.0.
  3. Add the T2T environment variable, e.g. export T2T=$T2T_HOME/bin.
  4. Add T2T environment variable to your path, e.g. export PATH=$T2T:$PATH.
  5. Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02 and that $JAVA_HOME/bin is in your PATH environment variable.
