Typically this might be in <span style="font-style: italic;">/usr/local/</span>, or perhaps <span style="font-style: italic;">$HOME/bin/</span>. You would then unpack the files using <span style="font-weight: bold;">tar -zxf</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">archivename.tgz</span>, which will create a directory <span style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X</span>, where X.X.X is the version number, and the executables will be in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X/bin</span> You will also have to configure your $PATH environment variable to give access to the executables from your command line environment. The .tgz file also contains several useful reference files (such as scanner chart recognition templates, sample illumination spectrum etc.) in the ref sub-directory, as well as all the current HTML documentation in a doc sub-directory. You may want to copy things to more standard locations such as /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/argyll/bin etc., depending on the conventions used on your system.<br> <br> <big style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note on the system bell:</span></big><br> <br> When reading strips using the Eye-One Pro instrument, the system bell is used to indicate when the instrument the ready to be used, and to provide feedback on any problems. On some Linux installations the system bell may be disabled. As well as checking the terminal and GUI sound preferences, you may have to enable the used of the PC speaker driver, which can be done by adding the command <span style="font-weight: bold;">/sbin/modprobe pcspkr </span>to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">/etc/rc.local</span> startup script. You may also have to run <span style="font-weight: bold;">xset b 100 1000 200</span> in your local setup, if you are running in an X11 environment. You can check that the system bell is operating by doing an "echo ^G", where ^G is ctrl-G.<br> <br> <big style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note on X11 multi-monitor setups:</span></big><br> <br> When working with a multi-monitor X11 configuration, note that you will only be able to individually calibrate monitors if the multi-window extension you are using (if any), supports access to the individual screen Video LUT tables that are used for calibration. The native X11 multi-screen addressing supports this, as does the Xinerama extension, and XRandR V1.2.<br> <br> The proprietary NVidia TwinView and ATI MergeFB extensions do not currently support access to the individual screen Video LUTs, so calibration of each screen independently is impossible if either of these extensions are running. You can try doing a calibration for the screens that do have accessible Video LUTs with these proprietary extensions, or ignore calibration and rely purely on display profiling. Use the dispwin utility to figure out what works on your system. The NVidia ATI binary drivers do not seem to properly support XRandR V1.2 either, even though they claim to do so. You may have to set the <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">ARGYLL_IGNORE_XRANDR1_2</span> environment variable if the XRandR V1.2 extension is faulty.<br> <br> If these limitations trouble you, then as a valuable customer of NVidia or AMD/ATI, perhaps you should contact them and urge them to fix the problems with Video LUT access in their proprietary multi-monitor extensions and XRandR implementation, bringing their support for multi-monitors on X11 up to the same standards as other operating systems. Urge them to add full and correct support for the XRandR V1.2 extension.<br> <br> <big style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fixing access to Video LUTs:</span></big><br> <br> Some users have noted that their default X11 installation doesn't properly enable access to the video card Video Lookup Tables (RAMDAC). The Video LUTs are used for display calibration purposes, and a warning will be issues by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispread</span> utilities if there is a problem with this.<br> <br> The problem may be because certain X11 extensions aren't being loaded by default. You may want to check that you have<br> <br> <big style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></big> Load "extmod" <br> <br> in the appropriate (or any) section of your Xorg.conf file, to allow the XF86Video LUT extensions to function correctly.<br> <br> <big style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Setting up instrument access:<br> <br> </span></big>By default most Linux based systems make devices inaccessible to user mode programs, so it is necessary to make some modification to the permissions for Color Measurement Instrument devices to allow Argyll utilities to access them.
