#TinyOS Repositorydeb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

step 2: install from above source

: ~$ sudo apt-get update: ~$ sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

step 3 : give access to folder use following commandput username in place if <username>

: ~$ sudo chown <username>:<username> -R /opt/tinyos-2.1.2/: ~$ sudo chown <username> -R /opt/tinyos-2.1.2/

- Now navigate to following directory. Opt directory will be at same level as home directoy

- Add following lines to “tinyOS.sh” file

echo "Setting up tinyOS-2.1.2"export TOSROOT=export TOSDIR=

export MAKERULES=

TOSROOT="opt/tinyos-2.1.2"TOSDIR="$TOSROOT/tos"CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$TOSROOT/support/sdk/javaMAKERULES="/opt/tinyos-2.1.2/support/make/Makerules"

export TOSROOTexport TOSDIRexport CLASSPATHexport MAKERULES

- Edit bashrc file, use following command

: ~$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

- Add following to bashrc file

#start tinyOS environment pathingexport TOSROOT=/opt/tinyos-2.1.2export TOSDIR=$TOSROOT/tosexport CLASSPATH=$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java/tinyos.jar:.$CLASSPATHexport MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerulesexport PATH=/opt/msp430/bin:$PATHsource /opt/tinyos-2.1.2/tinyos.sh
