Material Archive:

You will not have file system permissions to write into the default location for the Material Archive. Instead, you should:

Additional Supplemental Materials Files

Additional materials files added by CNF will be located in:

• /usr/local/cnf/tracer/MaterialArchive

1. In a terminal type in: printenv HOME
2. In the File → Properties menu dialogue, click on the Directories tab and set the Local Repository Directory to the output of step 1 followed by a forward slash  /.GenISys/Repository
   1. It may already be set to this
3. Type into a terminal: ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER
4. Create a local directory
5. Copy the files from the Tracer install location's MaterialArchive folder to that local directory (see example commands below).
6. In the File → Properties menu dialogue, click on the Archives Directories tab and set the Global Repository Directory to the output of step 3, substituting the word 'Repository' for the directory you created as the Material Archive Directory.word 'TRACER'
7. Optionally copy the files from /usr/local/cnf/tracer/MaterialArchive to your local Repository/MaterialArchive directory

After making the above changes, you may have to expand/collapse the tree in the left pane of TRACER a few times.You will also need to update the archive preference in LayoutBEAMER to point to your local copy of the Material Archive.

You can create a local copy of the archive using the following terminal commands:

$ mkdir ~/MaterialArchive
 
# Determine the TRACER version number with:
$ ls -l /optetc/localalternatives/TRACER
 
# SubstituteOptionally incopy the versionadditional CNF numberMaterials forArchive <version_number>files
$ rsync -av /usr/local/cnf/tracer/MaterialArchive/ ~/.GenISys/Repository/MaterialArchive 

# For example:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER

# Gives output:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 Sep 17  2020 /etc/alternatives/TRACER -> /opt/local/TRACER/<version_number>/bin/MaterialArchive/ ~/MaterialArchive/
 2.11.1/bin/TRACER

# So you would set the Global Archive to:
/opt/local/TRACER/2.11.1/bin/Repository
