Installing inferno proved to be quite easy task. I have 32 bit Ubuntu-9.10 distribution running, and following are the steps which worked for me. You need to visit Inferno 4th Edition page for downloads and instructions.
Download the CD Image
, then unzip it and mount it using local loopback. Also download the install.pdf which has all the detailed instructions
for this installation.
wget http://www.vitanuova.com/dist/4e/20071003/cdinstall.iso.gz
gunzip cdinstall.iso.gz
mkdir mpoint
sudo mount -o loop cdinstall.iso mpoint/
mkdir inferno_root
sh `pwd`/mpoint/install/Linux-386.sh `pwd`/inferno_root/
With above commands, Inferno should get installed.
The simplest way to test inferno emulator is to run it with following command
`pwd`/inferno_root/Linux/386/bin/emu -r `pwd`/inferno_root/
To shorten the things, one can use following shell-script called run_inferno.sh
#!/bin/bash
BASEDIR="/home/pravin/projects/inferno/"
INFERNO_ROOT="inferno_root/"
$BASEDIR/$INFERNO_ROOT/Linux/386/bin/emu -r $BASEDIR/$INFERNO_ROOT/
Add this file into your ~/bin and start inferno shell just by typing run_inferno.sh
