To launch SALOME:
The installation shell script will create a special file: salome.csh (CShell file) in your SALOME/KERNEL directory. This file contains all environment variables necessary for launching SALOME platform with other application products provided with SALOME installation package. You have a possibility to add one of them into your profile if you enter in the command console the following:
source salome.csh
Tip: During the installation procedure you have a possibility to set your profile automatically.

--embedded=registry,study,moduleCatalog,cppContainer, or -e=registry,study,moduleCatalog,cppContainer | embedded CORBA servers (default: registry,study,moduleCatalog,cppContainer) note that logger,pyContainer,supervContainer can't be embedded |
--standalone=registry,study,moduleCatalog,cppContainer,pyContainer,supervContainer, or -s=registry,study,moduleCatalog,cppContainer,pyContainer,supervContainer | standalone CORBA servers (default: pyContainer,supervContainer) |

Tip: If the runSalome.py script is launched without prompting any options, they will be taken by default from the file SalomeApp.xml (SALOME/GUI/share/salome/resources/SalomeApp.xml). If you are constantly launching SALOME with some specific options which are different from the defaults, you can edit this file according to your requirements. So the next time you run SALOME, you won't have to enter these numerous command console options.
