Downloading

The latest version of X-Tract can be downloaded from http://www.xmlscript.org/download.html. The distribution is a gzipped tar file.

Platform requirements

The X-Tract processor works under Linux 2.0 and 2.2.

Installing

The download needs to be un-gzipped and un-tarred. This can be accomplished using the command below, which will create an X-Tract subdirectory under the directory in which you unzip the file. (It is common Linux practice to carry out such installations in the /usr/local directory.)

tar -xzvf <filename>

When you unzip the distribution package all the important files will be automatically placed in the X-Tract/apps directory. No further installation is necessary. There is only one binary file included in the distribution, xtract.

Running X-Tract

To run X-Tract, 'cd' to the X-Tract/apps directory and type:

./xtract start.xst
