<p>Install the binary &XercesCName; release by using <code>unzip</code>
on the <ref>file</ref>-win32.zip archive in the Windows environment. You can
use WinZip, or any other UnZip utility.</p>
<source>unzip &XercesCInstallDir;-win32.zip</source>
<p>This creates a &apos;&XercesCInstallDir;-win32&apos; sub-directory
containing the &XercesCName; distribution. </p>
<p>You need to add the &apos;&XercesCInstallDir;-win32\bin&apos;
directory to your path: </p>
<p>To do this under Windows NT, go to the start menu, click the
settings menu and select control panel. When the control panel opens,
double click on System and select the &apos;Environment&apos; tab.
Locate the PATH variable under system variables
and add &lt;full_path_to_&XercesCInstallDir;>\bin to the PATH variable.
To do this under Windows 95/98 add this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:</p>
<source>SET PATH=&lt;full_path_to_&XercesCInstallDir;>\bin;%PATH%</source>
<p>or run the <code>SET PATH</code> command in your shell window.</p>
</s2>
<s2 title="UNIX">
<p>Binary installation of this release is to extract the files from the
compressed .tar archive (using 'tar').</p>
<source>cd $HOME
gunzip &XercesCInstallDir;-linux.tar.gz
tar -xvf &XercesCInstallDir;-linux.tar</source>
<p>This will create an '&XercesCInstallDir;-linux' sub-directory
(in the home directory)
which contains the &XercesCName; distribution. You will need to add the
&XercesCInstallDir;-linux/bin directory to your PATH environment variable:</p>
<p>For Bourne Shell, K Shell or Bash, type: </p>
<source>export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/&XercesCInstallDir;-linux/bin"</source>
<p>For C Shell, type:</p>
<source>setenv PATH "$PATH:$HOME/&XercesCInstallDir;-linux/bin"</source>
<p>If you wish to make this setting permanent, you need to change
your profile by changing your setup files which can be either .profile or .kshrc.</p>
<p>In addition, you will also need to set the environment variables XERCESCROOT,
ICUROOT and the library search path. (LIBPATH on AIX, LD_LIBRARY_PATH on
Solaris and Linux, SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX).</p>
<note>XERCESCROOT and ICUROOT are needed only if you intend to
recompile the samples or build your own applications. The library path is
necessary to link the shared libraries at runtime.</note>
<p>For Bourne Shell, K Shell or Bash, type:</p>
<source>export XERCESCROOT=&lt;wherever you installed &XercesCName;>
export ICUROOT=&lt;wherever you installed ICU>
export LIBPATH=$XERCESCROOT/lib:$LIBPATH (on AIX)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XERCESCROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Solaris, Linux)
export SHLIB_PATH=$XERCESCROOT/lib:$SHLIB_PATH (on HP-UX)</source>
<p>For C Shell, type:</p>
<source>setenv XERCESCROOT "&lt;wherever you installed &XercesCName;>"
setenv ICUROOT "&lt;wherever you installed ICU>"
setenv LIBPATH "$XERCESCROOT/lib:$LIBPATH" (on AIX)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$XERCESCROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" (on Solaris, Linux)
setenv SHLIB_PATH "$XERCESCROOT/lib:$SHLIB_PATH" (on HP-UX)</source>
<note>If you need to build the samples after installation,
make sure you read and follow the build instructions given in the
<jump href="build.html">FAQ</jump>.</note>
