  1. Installing ISABEL: A how to guide in installing the ISABEL Application

  2. Topics • Installing the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) Drivers • Installing ISABEL • Upgrading ISABEL

  3. Installing ALSA Drivers • The ISABEL application makes use of the ALSA drivers, and no longer support the OSS drivers. • The developers of ISABEL have included pre-compiled ALSA drivers for specific kernels. • These drivers are available off of the BADLAB ftp server at ftp://gamma.badlab.crc.ca as anonymous. File is called alsa.tgz. • To extract this file, perform the following command at the terminal prompt: “tar -zxvf alsa.tgz”

  4. The rpm files are extracted to the ~/alsa directory. • Select the appropriate rpm file for your specific kernel. • The ALSA rpm are available for the following kernels: • 2.2.5-15 • 2.2.12_20 • 2.2.12_32 • 2.2.14_5.0 • 2.2.14_5.0smp • 2.2.15-0

  5. To install the ALSA rpm file, perform the following command at the terminal prompt: “rpm -i <file name>” where file name is the ALSA rpm file. • Next, run the command “alsaconf” and follow the instructions to set the the ALSA drivers to your specific audio card. • For all other kernels, the ALSA drivers can be downloaded from http://www.alsa-project.org.

  6. These ALSA drivers are non-compiled drivers, and take more time to install. Avoid if possible, unless you feel comfortable with Redhat and compiling and editing files.

  7. Installing ISABEL • Before installing the ISABEL application, the ALSA drivers must be installed. • OSS drivers will not run with the newer versions of ISABEL • ISABEL is downloadable from the BADLAB FTP server at ftp://gamma.badlab.crc.ca • Current full release of ISABEL is DITisabel-3R5-0.i386.rpm • Most current beta version is DITisabel-4R0_beta01-0.i386.rpm

  8. To install the ISABEL application, simply run the following command as super user: “rpm -i <file name>” where filename is the name of the ISABEL rpm file.

  9. Upgrading ISABEL • Since ISABEL is in development, you will notice that a beta version will go through a number of builds. These builds are not compatible with one another, and constant upgrades are usually needed. • These new builds, and beta version usually have bug fixes in them. • The upgrade command for Redhat is “rpm -U <file name>” where file name is the name of the ISABEL rpm file.

  10. Launching ISABEL • To launch the ISABEL Application, simply type “isabel” as the terminal prompt. • The file v4l.conf must be edited. This file is generated by the frame grabber. • This file is located in the ~/ .isabel/ directory. • The line “vnorm 0” must be changed to “vnorm 1”. • Save this change, and reset the video on the ISABEL partners menu.
