To get started with the saturn software, follow these steps:
- If you have an user-level binary distribution, read the file
BUILD_INFO.txt and check that the platform on which the
saturn software was built is compatible with yours.
- If you have a source distribution, follow the instructions
of INSTALL.txt to build the binaries and, optionally,
to install them.
- Read the documentation of the saturn software, above all chapter 2.
You must build the documentation yourself as explained in INSTALL.txt
if you have a source distribution; instead, if you have a binary
distribution, both info and PostScript files are already there.
- If you are in a real hurry and wish to emulate an HP49 as soon
as possible, run the ./quick_start shell script.
