Installation linux
Revision as of 15:44, 19 July 2013 by Bugman (talk | contribs) (→Linux install: added different instructions for root and a user for installing the relax dependencies.)
Linux install
For RPM-based Linux distributions with access to the YUM installer, first install the relax dependencies with:
yum install python
yum install scons
yum install wxPython
yum install grace
If you do not have root access but are in the sudo group, you can type:
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 ..
test python installation
