This document describes the VruiConfig system for managing configurations of the Vrui software environment.

The VruiConfig system consists of four basic components:

• VruiConfigDriver a shell script that provides the necessary shell context for ConfigVislet, and a restart mechanism so that new configurations and/or programs can be launched from within the Vrui environment.

• VruiConfig file a simple Vrui program that presents the configuration environment.

• ConfigVislet a Vrui vislet that implements the configuration environment.

• VruiConfigurations a directory that contains definitions for standard configurations, configuration fragments and Vrui program launchers.

Subsequent sections detail each of these components.

The prerequisites for the VruiConfig system are:

• Vrui-1.0 release 059 or later be installed on your system.
• The code for the VruiConfig system be compiled for your installation of Vrui.
• The ConfigVislet vislet be installed so that it is accessible to Vrui.
• (Optional) The VruiConfigDriver shell script be on your executable path. If not, you can run VruiConfigDriver via its full path name.
