Downloading and installing VersIC

Downloading VersIC

To download VersIC, you must have a Download account. This account is specific to each customer company or site and is used for downloading software releases and/or patches. Check with your CAD department for this account information, or contact Perforce to request a download account.
Download the latest version of VersIC from https://mdx.jfrog.io/ui/native/versic/release using your Download account to login.

Create a root directory that can be accessed by all users planning to use VersIC (example = /tools/methodics).
```
% mkdir -p /tools/methodics/versic
```
```
% cd /tools/methodics/versic 
```
Extract the VersIC tgz file previously downloaded (example = ~/versic_1.8.176.tgz).
```
% tar -zxf ~/versic_1.10.41.tgz
```

This will create a sub-directory in the current directory that reflects the VersIC release number.

% ls -l 
drwxr-xr-x 9 500 users    4096 May  6  2020 versic_1.10.41

3. Create a current link to the version sub-directory so the latest version can be easily accessed by a consistent unix path.

% ln -s versic_1.10.41 current

% ls -l 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 users      12 May  6  2016 current -> versic_1.10.41
drwxr-xr-x 9 500 users    4096 May  6  2016 versic_1.10.41

4. Set the environment variable VSC_INSTALL_DIR to the root directory of the VersIC installation.

csh:

% setenv VSC_INSTALL_DIR /tools/methodics/versic/current

bash:

% export VSC_INSTALL_DIR=/tools/methodics/versic/current

5. Ensure the VersIC tools/bin directory is added to the unix PATH.

csh:

% set path = ($path $VSC_INSTALL_DIR/tools/bin)

bash:

% export PATH=$PATH:$VSC_INSTALL_DIR/tools/bin
