Modes of Operation
The Averest tools can be used in two different modes: client-server
and standalone mode. In client-server mode, the source files are kept
on your local machine, but the tasks to process these files are
executed on our server. Hence, there is no need to install any
binaries on your machine. It suffices to install the
Eclipse plugin in order
to compile, verify, and synthesize Quartz programs. The plugin can be
used on all operating systems that are supported by
Eclipse. Client-Server
mode is the easiest way to install and work with Averest. However, if
you want to process large files, it might be more efficient to use the
tools in standalone mode.
Client-Server Mode
To install the Eclipse plugin for Averest, you need the
Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) 5.0 and
Eclipse 3.2. Please see the separate
installation instructions on how to
install and work with the Averest plugin.
Standalone Mode
At the moment, we can only offer (statically linked) binaries for
Linux (i586).
If you want to run the tools on another platform than Linux, please
contact us. Note that in since version 1.7, the documentation and the examples
are now included in the distribution.
