The guide describes all steps required for users who prefer manual installation. This document describes everything from the initial setup on a new machine to the final build, testing, and installation of VERA components. Moreover, it explains how to create the directories and contents outlined in Section 2, and it also explains how to obtain the remaining VERA source and to build, test, and install any of the necessary VERA components on a given system. The process for obtaining a development version of VERA and for a released tarball of the VERA sources is also defined. Section 2 outlines the directory structure. Section 3 describes the the major steps of the installation process. Section 3 contains all of the information needed to perform the full install of the VERA Dev Env, as well as the install of VERA components themselves.
