# SISCAD-P Environment Setup

The SISCAD-P PROGRAM package contains some startup-files (e.g. .fvwmrc, .mwmrc, .. ) adapted for the work with SISCAD-P.
These files will be copied to the users HOME directory at the first time when SISCAD-P is started or in case of an upgrade.
To achieve this do the following:

  Login as normal user (not as root) and execute the following command:

  > `/usr/bin/siscadp`

  Logout now. After logging in again, you can start SISCAD-P from your window-managers menu or by typing siscadp on your command line.
  Notice:

  During the start of SISCAD-P it will be checked whether the private SISCAD-P user environment should be set up or not. This setup is done by calling the script `/usr/siscadp/exe/setup_user`.
  Running this script, startup files already existing will be replaced and the old files will be renamed to OLD_NAME.Ascending_Number.
  On this way private files will never be lost.
  Example: An existing file .fvwmrc will be moved to .fvwmrc.1. In case that .fvwmrc.1 already exists, .fvwmrc would be moved to .fvwmrc.2 and so on.

In addition to these startup files, some other subdirectories in `$HOME/siscadp` will be created at the first time starting SISCAD-P.
These directories will contain your private SISCAD-P files and your private SISCAD-P configuration files which will be described in the next section.
