## Setup

## Setup

This assumes that you already have TCL/Tk (AKA 'wish') already installed on your unix/linux system, and that the 'wish' program is in your $PATH.
If you don't have wish installed, you will want to either get the TCL/Tk packages from your OS vendor (RedHat, Debian, etc.) or you may fetch the sources from https://www.tcl.tk/.  You need TCL/Tk version 8.0.5 or later.

Un-gzip the tarfile:

    gunzip TrebTk10aXX.tar.gz

Untar the tarfile:

    tar xf TrebTk10aXX.tar

Move the directory structure that you unpacked to someplace convenient:

    mv TrebTk10aXX /usr/local/trebtk

Make a softlink from a convenient directory that is in your $PATH, linking to the Trebuchet.tcl file:

    cd /usr/local/bin
    ln -s /usr/local/trebtk/Trebuchet.tcl treb

Then when you want to run Trebuchet, just invoke the 'treb' softlink.
NOTE:  The Trebuchet.tcl file MUST be located in the same directory as the 'lib' and 'docs' directories.  Otherwise it won't be able to find the libraries it needs to run.  This is why you make a softlink to the Trebuchet.tcl file, instead of moving it.
