SET-UP

Step 1
Step 2

To install and run CECILIA, you need to carry out these two simple steps:


Step 1: Installing CECILIA on your platform:  top

 

Linux

 

SGI - IRIX

 

Macintosh

Windows95
  Other Unix flavors
  CECILIA v2.0 was tested by the authors on the following platforms:

Step 2: The CECILIA Preferences: top

    Once CECILIA is installed properly, launch CECILIA by double-clicking its icon.

    Under the File menu in the Main CECILIA window, choose Preferences...

    A great many features of CECILIA can be customized to your liking in the Preferences window. QuickKeys, colors, and all your service applications are chosen there.  Some assumptions/defaults are made for you. Choosing the correct sound player is very important!

    For the help mechanism to work, you will need to have Netscape installed and running. We are planning on supporting other browsers but for the time being this is the one we have chosen.

    CECILIA uses three of the standard Csound environment variables directories in its operations:

            $SFDIR - where Csound writes soundfiles.
            $SADIR - where you keep your sound analysis files.
            $SSDIR - where you keep your library of sounds.
    For Unix, these are normally defined in your .cshrc file. If these environment variables are not present, the directories will default to your home directory. On Macintosh, these variables will be set to the CECILIA folder.
