This installation procedure was tested on UBUNTU 12.04 LTS
Requirements: An UNBTU 12.04 LTS 32-bit system with Internet connectivity
step 1: open command line and type
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
step 2: add the following repository at the end of the list
deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main
step 3: save the file and run
sudo apt-get update
step 4: Install nesC compiler which is required for TinyOS programming. This step also install java environment.
sudo apt-get install nesc
step 5: Install the cross tools (tool-chain), Debian MSP430 and Debian AVR using following
sudo apt-get install msp430-tinyos avr-binutils-tinyos msp430-gcc-tinyos msp430-libc-tinyos
step 6: Install g++ compiler. (This step can be ignored if it is already installed on the system). Also install python development.
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install python-dev -y
step 7: Install automake tool
sudo apt-get install automake
Step 8: Install tinyos operating system
sudo apt-get install tinyos
This command prompts for existing tinyos versions for download. Select a suitable version and download as shown below.
sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.2
step 9: change the perimissions of tinyos installation folder
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/tinyos-2.1.2
step 10: create a file called tinyos.sh in /opt/tinyos-2.1.2
sudo gedit /opt/tinyos-2.1.2/tinyos.sh
step 10: copy and past the following content in the tinyos.sh file
# Here we setup the environment
# variables needed by the tinyos
# make system
export TOSROOT=/opt/tinyos-2.1.2
export TOSDIR=$TOSROOT/tos
export MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules
export CLASSPATH=$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java/tinyos.jar:.
export PYTHONPATH=.:$TOSROOT/support/sdk/python:$PYTHONPATH
export PATH=$TOSROOT/support/sdk/c:$PATH
echo "setting up TinyOS on source path $TOSROOT"
step 11: open bashrc file
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
and add the following content at the end of the file
#Tinyos path
source /opt/tinyos-2.1.2/tinyos.sh
step 12: close the terminal and reopen to see the tinyos path estalishment
