To install and run Cecilia, you need to carry out these simple tasks:
  1. You must edit the .cshrc file in your home directory to include the following line:
    setenv CEC_LIBRARY <the path of the Cecilia directory>
    
    This is compulsory. We keep the Cecilia directory in /usr/local/lib but it can be put anywhere.

  2. The first time you launch Cecilia, you must select your service applications in the Preferences window under the File menu. Service applications are the applications you want to use as default soundfile player, soundfile editor and soundfile info provider.

  3. Cecilia uses three of the standard Csound environment variables directories in its operations:
    	$SFDIR - where Csound writes soundfiles.
    	$SADIR - where you keep your sound analysis files.
    	$SSDIR - where you keep your library of sounds.
    
    
    These are also defined in your .cshrc file.If these environment variables are not present, the directories will default to your home directory.

    You can also specify these directories in the Preferences window. (see below).

  4. Optional customizing. A number of Cecilia features can be customized. To do so you must open the Preferences window under the File menu.
