2.3.6. Directory and File Organization – Linux and Unix
PSA Software installs into Linux and Unix in a manner that separates and organizes files into 3 categories:
Category
File Locations
Compiled Software and Libraries
/usr/local/Sifos/PSA1200
Configuration and User Data
$HOME/ Sifos/PSA1200
Shell Scripts (Program Launchers)
$HOME /bin
This organization allows various users in a shared computing or NFS type of environment to maintain local user
information independent from other users and independent of the actual shared software modules and libraries.
Installation of PSA Software requires that the user have full permissions to add the application into the /usr/local/
directory path while the installation takes place. After installation, those permissions may be removed.
The following table provides greater detail regarding files and file locations after PSA software is installed.

Version information concerning individual PhyView Analyzer software libraries is available from PSA Interactive
under the [Help] [About] menu as well as from PowerShell PSA using the pva_version command.
2.3.7. Tcl/Tk Requirements & Resources
PSA software is distributed with an installer for Tcl/Tk 8.4.20 on Microsoft Windows platforms. Generally, there
should not be a problem with using any 8.4 versions of Tcl/Tk. If Tcl/Tk is not present on the host PC system or if a
version older than 8.4.5 is found, PSA installation software will install version 8.4.20 Tcl.
(Note: This does not apply to Linux systems where the user is responsible for pre-installing a satisfactory version of
Tcl/Tk.)
