Installation

# For version 2.3 and above:
  % unzip <EDGE release zip file>

# For versions prior to EDGE v2.3
  % setenv DOUGHOME $HOME/doug
  % setenv DOUGDATA /dougdata ; 
        # For speed, it is preferable that data reside locally
  % mkdir $DOUGDATA
  % cd $DOUGDATA
  % tar xvfz EDGE_data_pack_*.tgz
  % mkdir $DOUGHOME
  % cd $DOUGHOME
  % tar xvfz EDGE_v*.tgz
     # Note: "gisdata" defaults to "/dougdata/gisdata_*"
     #       If $DOUGDATA is not /dougdata, then
             % rm gisdata
             % ln -s $DOUGDATA/gisdata_?.? gisdata

As a summary of the above, just untar the package where you want to install EDGE, then make sure the gisdata link points to the extracted EDGE_data_pack contents.
