gunzip the sdk in your home folder.

Load the appropriate setup script from 'scripts' folder into your favourite text editor. For example, on linux load 'scripts/linux.bash' and make sure R3PROJECTDIR and R3RUNDIR environment variables correspond to your system.

R3PROJECTDIR should point to the SDK itself and R3RUNDIR should refers to the home directory of the actual Realsoft 3D application.

Open a shell window and execute the script file. For example, in a linux bash shell, enter:

. ./linux.bash

Note that the dot '.' is needed to execute the script in the current shell's context.

You can now use the window to build Realsoft 3D plugins:

Start Realsoft 3D and you should see Dummy plug-in works! message.

	Note
	r3make is a script that filters the makefile to unix form and calls standard make utility.
