CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code tree. In order to get anonymous access to the avrora source code tree follow the next instructions:
Anonymous CVS Access
Avrora project CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. To determine the names of the modules created by this project, you may examine their CVS repository via the provided web-based CVS repository viewer.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@avrora.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avrora login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@avrora.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avrora co -P modulename
Information about accessing this CVS repository may be found in our document titled, "CVS (Version Control for Source Code)". Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.
Download latest JAR release
You do not need to download the complete source tree to emulate your wireless sensor network applications. The jars folder contain the latest avroraZ JAR release as well as several test examples that you can use following the avroraZ documentation. Java Archive (JAR) files provide a way to package software written in Java and to easily distribute that software. You need a a functional Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed in your computer to run them. See http://java.sun.com to download the Sun Java implementation for your platform.
Once you have the JVM installed you will use the Java tool to run the program packaged inside the Jar file. Simply issue the command: "java -jar avroraZ.jar". Running avroraZ with no options will print out the built-in help. You can get more info about JAR files in this manual.
