Install the miniBIRCH framework

• Create a home directory for BIRCH eg.
  mkdir /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
  chmod a+rx /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
  cd /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
  
  (The BIRCH home directory could be anywhere you choose. It doesn't have to be /home/birch.)
  
  
• Go to BIRCH download page to get the BIRCH framework file
  
  
• Unzip the framework file eg.
  gunzip framework.mini.tar.gz
  mv framework.mini.tar.gz /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
  
  
• Recreate the BIRCH directory structure eg.
  cd /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
  tar xvpf framework.mini.tar

=======> NOTE: The 'p' option is essential for this tar command to make sure that file permissions are preserved as in the original directory hierarchy!

The BIRCH home directory should look something like this:

{malcolm:/home/birch}ls -l
