Linux install

For RPM-based Linux distributions with access to the YUM installer, first install the relax dependencies with:

sudo yum install python
sudo yum install scons
sudo yum install wxPython
sudo yum install grace

The [Grace] software is used for visualisation of 2D data sets. Next the [minfx] and [bmrblib] libraries can be installed on all Linux systems by typing:

wget http://download.gna.org/minfx/minfx-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf minfx-1.0.5.tar.gz
cd minfx-1.0.5
python setup.py install
cd ..

wget http://download.gna.org/bmrblib/bmrblib-1.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xzf bmrblib-1.0.3.tar.gz
cd bmrblib-1.0.3
python setup.py install
cd ..
