2.1 Starting the TIGERRegistry tool

The way you can start the TIGERRegistry tool depends on your operating system. On Windows machines, a program group called TIGERSearch has been created during the installation - so you just have to select the TIGERRegistry program in the start menu.

On Unix machines, symbolic links have been created. If your general path is set properly, you may just need to type in TIGERRegistry. However, the TIGERRegistry start program can always be found in the TIGERSearch installation path:

INSTALLATIONPATH/bin/TIGERRegistry

Please note: Relative paths specified by the user are evaluated with regard to the working directory. On Unix machines this directory is defined as the TIGERSearch starting directory (i.e. the directory TIGERSearch has been started from). On Mac and Windows machines the working directory is defined as the user's home directory.
