There are three environment variables that may need to be set.

PATH

The PATH variable tells the OS where to look to find commands and applications entered at the command line. The PATH is usually set to a ';' delimited list of directory paths.

If installed, the jython and ant directories should be added to the PATH variable.

CLASSPATH

Similarly the CLASSPATH variable tells the java runtime system, where to look for class definitions. This list is also delimited by ';' characters and contains either directory paths or jar files.

Although command files are able to temporarily alter the CLASSPATH variable in general it may be convenient to add the "Cut The Crap" jar files to the CLASSPATH, these files are found in both the jars and lib directories of the full distribution.

CTC_ENV

The CTC_ENV variable specifies the location of the "Cut The Crap" distribution. It is needed when building systems generated by The Alchemist.
