Chapter 16: Installation
Installing HP 9000 Software
Step 3a. Start the X server and the Motif Window
Manager (mwm)
If you are not already running the X server and a window manager, do so now. The
X server is required to use the Graphical User Interface because it is an X Windows
application. A window manager is not required to execute the interface, but, as a
practical matter, you must use some sort of window manager with the X server.
• Start the X server by entering x11start at the HP-UX prompt.
Consult the X Window documentation supplied with the HP-UX operating system
documentation if you do not know about using X Windows and the X server.
After starting the X server and Motif Window Manager, continue with step 4 of
these instructions.
Step 3b. Start HP VUE
If you are running the X server under HP VUE and have not started HP VUE, do so
now.
HP VUE is a window manager for the X Window system. The X server is
executing underneath HP VUE. Unlike the Motif Window Manager, HP VUE
provides a login shell and is your default interface to the HP 9000 workstation.
Step 4. Set the necessary environment variables
The DISPLAY environment variable must be set before the Graphical User
Interface will start. Also, you should modify the PATH environment variable to
include the "/usr/hp64000/bin" directory, and, if you have installed software in a
directory other than "/", you need to set the HP64000 environment variable.
