First steps in a UNIX environment

At first we will describe how to set up SYMMETRICA on a computer with UNIX operating system. This system has a utility called
make
which allows the various actions required in setting up SYMMETRICA to be coded in a special file called
makefile
and to be invoked by a simple command. We will see the details below. (If you don't have UNIX availabe, you can only make use of the files the names of which end with .c. The case when you are in a DOS environment will be discussed in the following section.)

Please look at the files that you find in your directory, and carefully read the following two items that describe how you get started:

As soon as the prompt has returned the system is ready to go, and therefore you may now continue reading the next sections of this chapter, in particular the section on the example files, but you may also skip this and continue with the second chapter.
