To install Tiger you need to have Oracle.

We are using Oracle 8.0.4.  We have been using Tiger with Oracle 7
before so there should be no problem running it with this version.
The installation is base on Oracle's shared libraries.

Some parts of Tiger are written in SWI Prolog.  SWI Prolog is
available from ftp://swi.psy.uva.nl/pub/SWI-Prolog/.  Make sure that
the command 'pl' starts up SWI Prolog (the default).

To install Tiger proceed in two steps:

1) Update the Makefile in the Library sub-directory (check Library/README
   for details).  The changes are fairly simple, particularly if you use
   a Unix environment.

2) Run gnu make (type 'make') to compile Tiger.  The file Makefile.LOG 
   shows the output of a successful compilation step.  You might find 
   it useful if you encounter any problems.

When the compilation has finished you have to initialize your Oracle
database by creating a few meta tables used by Tiger.  The necessary
Oracle DDL statements are given in the file dbinit.sql.  Simply start
up Oracle (sqlplus) and execute all DDL commands given in this file.

You start Tiger by typing ./tiger.  At the prompt you have to open a
DB, e.g.,
  open 'scott/tiger';
