Obtain the SMC login and password required to access the SMC tree list generation database download page and log into the download page.

Decide where the tree list generation database executable files, documentation, and data files should reside on the hard drive, creating any directories if necessary.

Create a temporary directory, tlgtemp,

prompt> mkdir tlgtemp

where the tree list generation database .zip file archive will be placed and its files extracted. This is done to make cleanup easier in the event of an error of some sort.

Download the program unzip.exe from the download page of the tree list generation database web site, placing it into the the temporary directory tlgtemp.

Download the standard distribution of the tree list generation database from download page of the tree list generation database web site, the filename is tlgv1r0s.zip, also placing it into the the temporary directory tlgtemp. A logon ID and password are required for this download operation.

Extract the files and directories for the standard distribution by running the executable file tlgversions.zip using the program unzip.exe,

prompt> unzip tlgv1r0s

which will automatically preserve the directory structure of the distribution. This creates a directory tree in the current directory with the top level directory name tlgv1r0s, which contains subdirectories for the documentation, the executable files, and a tree list generation database. This requires approximately 30Mb.

The directory tlgv1r0s should contain the following subdirectories.

data This directory contains the various data files used to create a tree list generation database and a tree list generation database.

doc This directory contains the documentation for the tree list generation database software.

exe This directory contains the executable programs which comprise the interface to a tree list generation database.

Place the executable files from the directory

tlgv1r0s/exe

into a directory which is on the executable file search path or add the path tlgv1r0s/exe to the executable file search path.

Place the documentation files from the directory

tlgv1r0s/doc

into the directory for the tree list generation database documentation.

Place the tree list generation database directory

tlgv1r0s/data/tgdb1r00

and all of its subdirectories, into the location on the hard drive where the tree list generation database data should reside, creating a directory if necessary.

The standard distribution of the SMC tree list generation database is now installed and should be usable.
