Binaries are available for a number of platforms:
[I will also release source to qualified individuals. Send me the URL for Cyberview-X, which is distributed in source form with W3Kit, running on your server.]HTTP: Cyberview works with any CGI/1.0 or 1.1 compatible HTTP server, such as the latest versions of NCSA httpd and CERN httpd.
Graphics: Cyberview can use either X11 or Quick Renderman graphics.
NOTE: The current version of Cyberview requires access to a display server to perform off-screen rendering (this will be fixed in the next version!). If your HTTP server machine doesn't have a display attached to it, you'll need to set the DISPLAY variable in the configuration script to point to a X11 server that Cyberview can use.
(In the case of Quick Renderman graphics, the HTTP daemon must be run in standalone mode from /usr/lib/NextPrinter/lpd.children.)
Perl: When it first loads up a template document, Cyberview converts all of the inlined 3D data files into plain OOGL (its native display format). The WebOOGL-to-OOGL conversion script supplied with Cyberview requires Perl 4.

table. Next, you'll need to edit a few lines in each of the scripts cgi-bin/cyberview3d-get.cgi and cgi-bin/cyberview3d-tmp.cgi. Finally, if desired, a site-wide banner can be placed in cyberview3d/menu.html.
Now you can test the installation using an HTML 2.0 compatible Web browser (such as X Mosaic, MacWeb, or Netscape). Load /apps/cyberview3d/interface.html into the browser, and enter /apps/cyberview3d/acme.3dhtml as the name of the template file. Pressing the LOAD button should produce a 3D page.
