Section 4-3: GCG environment

[ Previous chapter ][ This chapter ][ Next chapter ]

Calling the GCG Setup Program

At some sites, you must register your user name before you can start to work with the GCG package. The startup of the GCG environment is usually performed with a single command:

% gcg

There are occasionally different commands to start the GCG environment. The startup procedure will display the GCG banner and quotation information for the GCG package. Additionally, local database information is displayed. The details of database use and quotation are described later .

NOTE: The command will fail if the account initialisation has not yet been done for you. Ask your program manager for details.

You should see the following or similar startup logo:
