Install Local Coral

You do not need to install Coral within the MTL network. If you are within the MTL Windows domain, you will have a shortcut on your desktop called Coral. MTL Red Hat Linux 5 users will have Coral (type coral at the prompt) in their path when they login. Other Unix users (such as Athena) who do not have direct access to Coral can login to any of the MTL Redhat 5 or 6 machines (such as mtl-home.mit.edu) and run it from there.
