Editing CODA Setup (section)

==Installation Instructions==

Below we have compiled a guide that walks through a basic setup of CODA 2.6.2. Our intention in writing this walkthrough is to assist CNU physics undergraduates in setting up a simple data acquisition system. The guide is geared toward first time Linux users, however for those users who are more advanced, the basic process may still be helpful. 

Notes: 

'''1. Operating System:''' For this guide we used CentOs 6.5, but any Linux distribution should be okay. (Some of the syntax and directory locations may change)

'''2. CODA Version:''' CODA 2.6.2

'''3. Hosted Files:''' Some sections we will have <span style="color:green">'''Links'''</span> that list examples of various files or websites that may be used for reference. 

'''4. Terminal Commands & Changes:''' We will be using a dollar sign ($) to signify a prompt for the regular user accounts, and a pound sign (#) for the root user. Also, we used greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols to signify user input.  

Example User: [coda@jlabdaq ~]$

Example Root User: [root@jlabdaq ~]#

Example User Input: <codauser>

'''6. Text Editor:''' For a quick text editor we used vi. If you are unfamiliar with vi, one can easily look up the commands or use any text editor that you prefer (i.e. emacs, gedit, etc).

'''5. Troubleshooting/Hints:''' We have added <span style="color:red">'''Possible Issue'''</span> and <span style="color:blue">'''Hint'''</span> sections to help with the installation process.   

'''6. Patience:''' Some portions of CODA (i.e. cedit and debedit) are finicky and take practice to learn how to handle/tolerate them.
