To use Merlin command line support or the Merlin NT Service you will need to define the MERLIN_HOME environment variable for your system and include MERLIN_HOME/bin in your system path:
$ echo ' > # set location of merlin > export MERLIN_HOME=/opt/merlin > # include it in the path > export PATH=$PATH:$MERLIN_HOME/bin > ' >> ~/.bash_profile $ source ~/.bash_profile
The following instructions assume that you have defined the MERLIN_HOME environment variable that points the directory containing the Merlin installation.
To confirm that you MERLIN_HOME variable is correct, you should open a new command line window and invoke the Merlin CLI application. The following command should list the Merlin CLI help information.
$ merlin.sh -help usage: merlin [block] [-debug] [-config <file>] [-lang <code>] [-repository <directory>] [-kernel <file>] [-home <directory>] [-version] [-help] ...
Now that you have installed Merlin on your system you can proceed to the Using Merlin tutorial page.
