The following steps should be taken to install CHEVIE.

Requirements:

- 5 MB disc space
- UNIX operating system 
- GAP (Lehrstuhl D fuer Mathematik, RWTH Aachen) and 
  MAPLE (Symbolic Computation Group, University of Waterloo),
  computer algebra systems

1.) Uncompress the file 'chevie_tar.Z' by typing:
    uncompress chevie_tar.Z

2.) 'cp' or 'mv' the file 'chevie_tar' to the directory you wish
    to install CHEVIE in.

3.) Create the directory 'chevie' by typing:
    tar xvf chevie_tar

    Make shure that everyone who wants to work with CHEVIE has 
    access to it and to all of its sub-directories.

4.) Edit the file 'chevie/bin/chevieg'.
    This file contains the following lines:

#!/bin/sh

## Please insert here the path of the CHEVIE-System.
##   (Something like: CHEVIEDIR=/usr/local/chevie )
CHEVIEDIR=/home/euterpe/chevie

gap -m 6m $* $CHEVIEDIR/weyl/cthckabd.tbl $CHEVIEDIR/weyl/cthckgfe.tbl $CHEVIEDIR/weyl/cthecke.g

    Substitute '/home/euterpe/chevie' by the new path.
    Substitute 'gap' by your gap (if necessary).

5.) Edit the file 'chevie/bin/cheviem'.
    You should look for the following lines:

## Please insert here the path of the CHEVIE-System.
##   (Something like: CHEVIEDIR=/usr/local/chevie )
CHEVIEDIR=/home/euterpe/chevie
## Please insert here the name of your favourite previewer for TeX-dvi files.
PREVIEWVAR='texsun -ns 3'

export CHEVIEDIR
export PREVIEWVAR

maple $* <<ENDEVOMANFANG

    Substitute '/home/euterpe/chevie' by the new path and
    substitute 'texsun -ns 3' by the empty string or by the
    name of your preferred TeX-previewer.
    Substitute 'maple' by your maple (if necessary). 

6.) 'mv' the scripts 'chevieg' and 'cheviem' to a place where everyone 
    can call them, e.g. 'usr/local/bin'.

7.) To call the GAP part of CHEVIE, type 'chevieg'.

8.) To call the MAPLE part of CHEVIE, type 'cheviem'.

9.) If you use a version of MAPLE which cannot read our file
    'GEN.m', you should 'cd' into the directory 
    'chevie/bin' and call 'MakeChevie'.

10.) The manual is contained in 'chevie/doc/chevie.dvi'. If you 
     cannot print this file for some reason, 'cd' into the directory
     'chevie/doc', and try 'amslatex chevie' first. This will 
     produce a new 'chevie/doc/chevie.dvi'.

11.) Have fun.
