NC On the UNIX Platform

(1) Log on to the computer which has Mathematica.

(2) Move into the directory NC or into the directory where the file NCAlgebra.m resides.

(3) Type the command which executes the Mathematica program. (Usually it is just the command 'math'.)

You will see a display of the form

     In[1] :=

which is a Mathematica prompt, asking for your inputs. When you type something followed by pressing the ``return'' key, Mathematica will respond with an output of the form

     Out[1] = ...

The following are the initial NCAlgebra commands:

(4) Type:

       Get["SetNCPath.m"]
       Get["NCAlgebra.m"]

or if you want to run NCGB (as of Dec. 99 only on Solaris and Windows) type

       Get["SetNCPath.m"]
       Get["NCGB.m"]

``Get'' above means that Mathematica should bring in the contents of the file specified (also you can use double arrows ``$«$'') .
