This chapter provides instructions for preparing your environment for using PADE. This consists of setting several environment variables, adding some directories to the executables path, preparing a PVM subdirectory, and creating a .rhosts file.
In this chapter it is assumed that all required software has been installed, including PVM and PADE. See the PADE Installation Guide for instructions to install PADE, or consult your system administrator to find the directories where PVM, PADE, and other software packages are installed.
