! Currently, the TinyOS Core Working Group supports TinyOS on two platforms: Cygwin (Windows)
! and Linux. There have been some <A HREF="">successful efforts</A> to getting TinyOS environments working
! on Mac OSX, but OSX is not supported by the Core WG.
! 
! Installing a TinyOS enviromnent has four basic steps; Windows requires an extra step,
! installing Cygwin, which is a UNIX-like environment. The steps are:
! 
! <ol>
! <li>Installing a Java 1.5 (Java 5) JDK. Java is the most common way of interacting
! with mote base stations or gateways that are plugged into a PC or laptop.</li>
! <li>Windows only. Install Cygwin. This gives you a shell
! and many UNIX tools which the TinyOS environment uses, such as perl and shell
! scripts.</li>
! <li>Installing native compilers. As you're compiling code for low-power
! microcontrollers, you need compilers that can generate the proper assembly code.
! If you using mica-family motes, you need the AVR toolchain; if you're using
! telos-family motes, you need the MSP430 toolchain.</li>
! <li>Installing the nesC compiler. TinyOS is written in nesC, a dialect
! of C with support for the TinyOS concurrency model and component-based
! programming. The nesC compiler is platform-independent: it passes its output
! to the native compilers, so that it can take advantage of all of the effort
! put into their optimizations.</li>
! <li>Installing the TinyOS source tree. If you want to compile and
! install TinyOS programs, you need the code.</li>
! <li>Installing the Graphviz visualization tool. The TinyOS
! environment includes <tt>nesdoc</tt>, a tool that automatically
! generates HTML documentation from source code. Part of this process
! involves drawing diagrams that show the relationships between
! different TinyOS components. <A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org">Graphviz</A>
! is an open source tool
! that nesdoc uses to draw the diagrams.</li>
! </ol>

+ <h1>Step 6: Installing Graphviz</h1>
+ 
+ <p>Go to <A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/Download..php">download page</A> of the Graphviz project
+ and download the appropriate RPM. You only need the basic graphviz RPM (<tt>graphviz-</tt>);
+ you don't need all of the add-ons, such as -devel, -doc, -perl, etc.
+ If you're not sure what version of Linux you're running,</p>
+ 
+ <pre>uname -a</pre>
+ 
+ <p>might give you some useful information. Install the rpm with <tt>rpm -i </tt> <i>rpm-name</i>.
+ In the case of Windows, there is a simple install program, so you don't need to deal with RPMs.</p>
