  1. Run vovcheck to ensure that there are no problems with your installation:
    % vovcheck
  2. Set up the environment BASE so that you have cvs in your path:
    1. Switch to the environment BASE.
      % ves BASE
    2. Check to ensure that CVS is in the path.
      % cvs
      Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]

    3. If CVS is not available, get the package as follows. You will need to have sudo or root access on your Linus box.
