Download the appropriate installation bundle and prerequisites listed above.

As root,
- upgrade to a suitable version of expat:
          upgradepkg expat-1.95.8-i486-1.tgz
- install the prerequisite packages (if not previously installed):
installpkg wxPythonGTK2-py2.4-2.4.2.4-i486-1.tgz
installpkg wxMozilla-0.5.3-i486-2.tgz
- unpack the installation bundle e.g.
tar zxvf AccessGrid-2.4-py2.4-i486-1.tar.tgz
- cd into the directory created when the bundle was unpacked and run the installation script:
sh install.sh

Log out and, as normal user,
- run the VenueClient (available in the main "Applications->Access Grid" menu)

Documentation is available from the "Applications->Access Grid->Documentation" menu.
