19 need to match the version of your Evergreen server. If you are unsure about the
20 version of your Evergreen server, contact your system administrator.
23 . Click on the downloaded Evergreen setup file.

50 . On the Evergreen *server*, navigate to the `staff_client` directory inside
55 cd /path/to/Evergreen/Open-ILS/xul/staff_client
58 . As the *root* user, build release versions of staff clients for both
59 32-bit and 64-bit Linux systems:
63 make rigrelease rebuild linux32-updates-client linux64-updates-client
67 This builds and copies two staff client tarballs for Linux to the `updates`
68 directory on the Web server.
70 . As the *root* user, reset the ownership of the Evergreen install directory
71 to the *opensrf* user. For example, if your install directory is `/openils`:
75 chown -R opensrf:opensrf /openils
78 . On your staff client workstation, download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of
79 the staff client from your Web server at
80 http://hostname/updates/manualupdate.html (where _hostname_ represents the
81 hostname of your Web server).
82 . On your staff client workstation, create a directory with the name of your
83 staff client and version.
84 . Extract the tar files into that directory.
85 . Within the directory, click on the `evergreen` file to start the program.
87 Or, you can run the program from a terminal (command line). For example, if the
88 staff client files were extracted to a directory called `evergreen_client` in
89 your home directory, you can run it with:
93 ~/evergreen_client/evergreen

105 register your workstation when you try to login.
109 You will need the permissions to add workstations to your network. If you do
110 not have these permissions, ask your system administrator for assistance.
113 . When you login for the first time, a red box will appear around your workstation
114 information on the right side of the screen.

132 When you uninstall the Evergreen staff client code from your system, the staff
133 client preferences and cached data are not removed from your system. This can
134 be a problem if, for example, you have registered your workstation with the
135 wrong library; or if you have chosen a display language (locale) that is broken
136 and will not let you start up the client again
138 On Windows, you can uninstall the Evergreen staff client code using the
139 Add/Remove Programs menu.
141 To remove the staff client preferences and cached data entirely on Windows,
142 there are two directories that you must delete completely (where _<profile>_
143 represents your user profile name):
145 * *C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Application Data\OpenILS*
146 * *C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenILS*
148 You might need to change the preferences in Windows Explorer to display hidden
149 files (Tools -> Folder Options… -> View).
154 To remove the staff client preferences and cached data from your user account
155 on Linux, there is one directory that you must delete completely:
