Using the Binaries

If you decide to use one of the binaries, no installation is needed. Simply download the binary bundle that corresponds to your operating system

and extract the file. This will - for all operating systems - create the following directory structure (where OS denotes your operating system).

gcx_2-1_bin_OS      The root folder.
    ./bin      This folder contains the binary.
    ./examples      This folder contains sample queries for testing purpose.
        ./sgml      This folder contains sgml sample queries.
        ./tree      This folder contains tree sample queries.
        ./xmark      This folder contains xmark sample queries.
        ./xmp      This folder contains xmp sample queries.

The executable (Linux/Mac OS: gcx or Windows: gcx.exe, depending on the operating system) is found in the bin directory. To run GCX, simply open a shell (Linux/Mac OS) or a command prompt window (Windows), change into the bin directory, and run the executable. We refer the reader to Section Command-Line Arguments for the usage and the complete list of available command-line arguments.
