MICS Installation (Linux version)
=================================

Steps to be made by the BRUKER service engineer
===============================================

1) log in as root  (or use the command "su -" in a terminal)

2) start the TopSpin installer and select the option for MICS

3) follow the installation procedure.

 Note: It is recommended NOT to install MICS in the TopSpin folder 
    (use '/opt/bruker/' instead, for example)

4) as a user: start MICS from the desktop/startmenu shortcut or invoke the command 'mics' in the TopSpin command console
   Do NOT start MICS as root.

OPTIONAL Autostart
==================

The MICS destination folder contains the script 'runmicsctrl' which starts the MICS controller without displaying the user interface. 
If wanted by the customer, this script can be called at system startup (but after X11 has been set up) using the window managers
autostart function. MICS will prompt the user upon first start of the application.
Don't setup autostart for the root user since this would pose a security risk.


Firewall Configuration
======================
The firewall configuration is done by the TopSpin installer.
