2. Install build procedure and framework

1. follow instructions on Installing build procedure and framework

3. Install 3rd-party graphics software

1. get and install 3rd-party software
   • gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/)
   • grace (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/)
   • IDL (http://www.rsinc.com/idl/)
   • Matlab (http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/)
   • Matplotlib (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/)
   • ...

4. Edit .tools file to match new software

1. edit .tools file
   • $ vi ~/.tools
2. make framework aware of install locations (for example...)

 # matlab
   export MATLAB_VERSION=6.13
   export MATLAB_DIR=${TOOLS_DIR}/matlab-${MATLAB_VERSION}
   export MATLAB_INCDIR=${MATLAB_DIR}/extern/include
   export MATLAB_LIBDIR=${MATLAB_DIR}/extern/lib/glnx86
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${MATLAB_LIBDIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
   export PATH=${PATH}:${MATLAB_DIR}/bin
 
 # rsi_idl
   export IDL_VERSION=6.1
   export IDL_DIR=${TOOLS_DIR}/idl_${IDL_VERSION}
   export IDL_INCDIR=${IDL_DIR}/external/include
   export IDL_LIBDIR=${IDL_DIR}/lib
   export IDL_BINDIR=${IDL_DIR}/bin/bin.linux.x86
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${IDL_BINDIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
   export PATH=${PATH}:${IDL_DIR}/bin

5. Install support packages

1. change to development directory
   • $ cd $DV_DIR
2. checkout Matlab-required 'sam' (if using Matlab)
   • $ cvs -d username@arcs.cacr.caltech.edu:/home/arcs/cvs co packages/sam
3. checkout Matlab-required 'array_kluge' (if using Matlab)
   • $ cvs -d username@arcs.cacr.caltech.edu:/home/arcs/cvs co packages/array_kluge
4. change to array_kluge directory
   • $ cd packages/array_kluge
5. build array_kluge package
   • $ mm
6. change to sam directory
   • $ cd $DV_DIR/packages/sam
7. build sam package
   • $ mm
8. change to development directory
   • $ cd $DV_DIR
9. checkout IDL-required 'pyIDL' (if using IDL)
   • $ cvs -d username@arcs.cacr.caltech.edu:/home/arcs/cvs co packages/pyIDL
10. change to pyIDL directory
    • $ cd packages/pyIDL
11. build pyIDL package
