F.2 Downloading and Building the CCA Tools Package

1. The latest version of the CCA Tools package can be found at http://www.cca-forum.org/tutorials/#sources with a filename starting with cca-tools-installer-.

2. Untar the cca-tools tar ball some place that is convenient to build and follow the instructions in the README to configure and build it.

   Caution Remember that you need to have internet connectivity during the build process! During the installation process the appropriate versions of required software are downloaded automatically.

The CCA tools build procedure has been tested on a variety of systems with a range of different configuration options, and it works the majority of the time. However it is possible your platform or configuration requirements will confuse it, and it will not build properly for you. If an error occurs, all logs are automatically archived in your home directory, in a file named cca-tools-logs.tar.bz2. You will be prompted to send an email as soon as the error occurs; you can also contact us at cca-tutorial@cca-forum.orgwith the output of your attempt to configure and build the package, and any pertinent information about your system. We want to help you get a working CCA environment and improve the packaging of the tools for future users.
