TinyOS Installation in Ubuntu 12.04 - IoT Perspective

This post tells you how to install TinyOS installation in Ubuntu 12.04 (I used this old OS as the tinyos 2.0.2 is released earlier and has the full support). However you can try installing in a recent OS also.  But prefer Ubunu with LTS support. 

OS Used: Ubuntu 12.04
Tiny OS Used: Pulled from git (an easier method to do the installation)
