Unless otherwise noted, all dependencies are distributed in the CISM_DX package. If you want to use your own versions of OpenDX and/or Octave, you must edit the startup scripts in /usr/local/CISM_DX.
* CISM_DX_DATA-0.59 has been updated to include new data. If you have CISM_DX_DATA 0.50 or 0.57 installed you can download CISM_DX_DATA-Update-0.59.tgz, and then untar into /usr/local using the directions below.
CISM_DX 0.59 has renamed the following modules:
| Old name | New name |
|---|---|
| animatefile | AnimateFile |
| fileloop | FileLoop |
| numerics | Numerics |
| readHelio | ReadHelio |
| readmhdhdf106 | ReadMHDHDF106 |
| readmhdhdf53 | ReadMHDFHDF53 |
| readmhdhdfdbl53 | ReadMHDHDFDbl53 |
| readmhdhdfdbl | ReadMHDHDFDbl |
| readmhdhdf | ReadMHDHDF |
| smgse | SMGSE |
| yrdayhr | YrDayHr |
Networks written before CISM_DX 0.59 (December 2007) may not load properly, to automatically update your networks to run with CISM_DX 0.59 and greater, run:
/path/to/install/utils/bin/UpdateDXNetworks.sh /path/to/old/networks new
To revert your changes so networks will work with previous versions of CISM_DX, run:
/path/to/install/utils/bin/UpdateDXNetworks.sh /path/to/old/networks old
Where /path/to/old/networks is the directory containing your networks to be updated (directories will be recursively processed), and /path/to/install is the location of your CISM_DX 0.59 installation.
Linux; x86
You need two packages: CISM_DX-0.59-linux.tgz and CISM_DX_DATA-Standard-0.59.tgz*
For system installation, as root:
cd /usr/local tar xzf /path/to/download/CISM_DX-0.59-linux.tgz tar xzf /path/to/download/CISM_DX_DATA-Standard-0.59.tgz ln -s CISM_DX-0.59-linux CISM_DX
For personal installation, as a user:
cd /path/to/install tar xzf /path/to/download/CISM_DX-0.59-linux.tgz tar xzf /path/to/download/CISM_DX_DATA-Standard-0.59.tgz cd CISM_DX-0.59-linux ./cismdx_setup
Mac OS X
Download the version matching your version of OSX below. In order to run the examples, you'll need CISM_DX_DATA-Standard-0.58.dmg*.
cp /usr/lib/libcups.2.dylib /usr/local/CISM_DX/darwin-libs/
Windows
... not quite a single click install, but we have tried this and it works fine. You should only notice significant slowdowns if you are doing highly graphics-intensive visualizations. (This will allow you to run the GNU/Linux OS on top of Windows XP; some knowledge of Unix is required.)
Live CD
Solaris
Installation on Solaris is possible, but we do not currently have a package maintainer. Much of the code in the source package listed below will compile using the Linux makefile, but a few need some work.
Download current distribution
Everything you need to build the latest distribution of CISM_DX and its dependencies on a GNU/Linux system can be found in the tarball of most recent version: CISM_DX-0.59-source.tgz.
or download from SVN (UCAR subversion account required)
Build sources (From within the CISM_DX-0.59-source or CISM_DX-src directory)
You can disable building Octave, if you do not need it, with the following command:
echo WITH_OCTAVE=no >>Makefile.machine.`uname -n`
Then unpack the supporting packages and compile everything:
make unpack make all
You should now have a working build under CISM_DX. If you plan on deleting or moving the source directory you can make a CISM_DX tarball with the following command:
make distrib
Make sure you have CISM_DX_DATA installed (see pre-built binary section above). If you plan on running CISM_DX from a location other than /usr/local you should also run the "cismdx_setup" script.
