+<h1>Installing VLP - Virtual Loglan Processor<br>
+</h1>
+<h2>Pre-requisite:</h2>
+ Prior to compile and run Virtual LOGLAN Processor you should install
+ the QT library <font color="#cc0000">qt-1.45</font>.(You may consult the
+file "inst/LICENSE.QT" for more informations about the QT. <br>
+If your system does not contain the library qt-1.45 (nowadays most systems
+contains a newer, yet incompatible version of qt library)<br>
+Read the file <br>
+ <font color="#000099">installQT.html</font> <br>
+ and follow the instructions contained there.<br>
+ <br>
+ <br>
+
+<h2>Installation:</h2>
+<ol>
+ <li>Create an empty directory e.g. <br>
+ /usr/local/vlp.build</li>
+ <li>Put the file <br>
+ vlp26.tgz<br>
+in this directory.</li>
+ <li>Extract the files executing e.g<br>
+ gunzip vlp26.tgz<br>
+ tar -xvf vlp26.tar</li>
+ <li> First, you MUST edit the file "<font color="#990000">Dir</font>"
+ and set the proper directories: <br>
+QINC - directory where the QT library includes are stored, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/include<br>
+ QLIB - directory where you have your QT library, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/lib<br>
+ MOCDIR - QT library has a special compiler named "moc", write
+the directory where this compiler is stored, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/bin<br>
+ INSTALLDIR - directory where the Virtual LOGLAN Processor will be
+ installed e.g.<br>
+ /usr/local/vlp.</li>
+ <li> Next, run the following:<br>
+ <font color="#cc0000">./configure</font> <br>
+ to configure source files, </li>
+ <li>execute <br>
+ <font color="#cc0000">make </font> <br>
+ to build VLP and </li>
+ <li>execute <br>
+ <font color="#cc0000">make install </font> <br>
+ to install Virtual LOGLAN Processor.</li>
+ <li>Now you should configure your "vlp.cfg" file which is stored in the
+ instalation directory. <br>
+Assure that the variable node_number has different value on each computer
+you installed VLP. <br>
+This is <i>required</i> to identify the nodes of virtual distributed Loglan
+multiprocessor. </li>
+ <li>WARNING! Variable "homedir" should point to the directory where you
+ have program "logker" installed. This MUST be a full path !!!<br>
+ something like<br>
+ /usr/local/vlp</li>
+ <li>If everything went smoothly and your VLP works correctly you may wish
+to delete the directory <br>
+ /usr/local/vlp.build<br>
+ </li>
+
+</ol>
