Hi Mohamed, TinyOS is an embedded operating system. To save memory space, the operating system is not installed as a separate software module, but rather the programs that you want to use are compiled into a single binary, which then is installed on the motes. In addition, the development environment (without which you cannot use TinyOS) provides libraries which run on the base station (computer) and facilitate communication between the wireless sensor network and applications running on the base station.
To summarize: - TinyOS is primarily installed on the motes (sensor nodes, such as MicaZ or TelosB). - TinyOS is not very useful by itself, you need an application to go with it (e.g. Deluge). - The development environment for TinyOS provides libraries to be installed on the base station. To get started with TinyOS you might want to read the tutorials: http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/TinyOS_Tutorials Cheers, Urs Mohamed H.
