INSTALLATION

If you have the super-user access, then you can install SenseClusters into system directories via :

                perl Makefile.PL
                make
                make install
                make clean

The exact location of where UMLS-Similarity will be installed dependson your system configuration. A message will be printed out aftermake install telling your exactly where it was installed.

If you do not have authority to write into system directories, you can install SenseClusters in a local directory that you own and have permissions to read and write into as follows:

                perl Makefile.PL PREFIX = /YOUR/DIR
                make
                make install
                make clean

This will install the UMLS-Similarity programs into

                /YOUR/DIR/bin/

and man pages into

                /YOUR/DIR/share/man/ (Linux)
                /YOUR/DIR/man/       (Solaris)
