Installation

The following installation instructions are from the INSTALLATION file in the root directory of the MODELLER distribution. See Section 1.3 for how to obtain MODELLER.

** PLATFORMS

  MODELLER is written in Fortran 90 and runs on Pentium PC's (Linux and
  Windows XP), Apple Macintosh (OS X 10.2), Linux Itanium 2 systems, and
  workstations from Silicon Graphics (IRIX), Sun (Solaris), IBM (AIX),
  and DEC Alpha (OSF/1).

** INSTALLATION

  See file README for information about how to get MODELLER. The source code
  is not generally available. Hence, most users are limited to the compiled
  versions of MODELLER. The program is distributed as a single install file
  that contains scripts, libraries, examples, documentation (in PDF and
  HTML formats) and executables for the supported platforms and operating
  systems. Please refer to the relevant section below for your platform:

** WINDOWS INSTALLATION

   1)   If using Windows NT/2000/XP, log on as a Computer Administrator.
        (For older systems, e.g. Windows 98, just log on as normal.)

   2)   Download the Windows installer modeller7v7.exe and save it to your
        Desktop.

   3)   Double-click on the modeller7v7 file to start the installer.

   4)   Tell the installer where to install Modeller, and enter your Modeller
        license key when prompted.

   5)   Once the install is complete, use the Modeller link from the Start
        Menu to start a Command Prompt from where you can run Modeller
        scripts. You can then delete the original installer file from
        your Desktop.

   6)   Examples can be found in the 'examples' subdirectory. Note, however,
        that if you use NT/2000/XP, and are NOT an Administrator user, you
        will need to make a copy of this directory elsewhere, as Windows
        will not allow Modeller to write output files into this directory.

** MAC OS X INSTALLATION

   1)   Download the Modeller.dmg file to your Desktop.

   2)   Double-click on the Modeller.dmg file to open the disk image.

   3)   Double-click on the Install.command file within this image.
        Tell the installer where to install Modeller, and enter your Modeller
        license key when prompted.

   4)   Once the install is complete, you can run the Modeller script
        from a Terminal window. You can then drag both the 'Modeller 7v7'
        disk image and the Modeller.dmg file to your trash.

** LINUX INSTALLATION (USING RPM)

   1)  Download the modeller-7v7-1.i386.rpm file.

   2)  Install the RPM file with the following command, replacing XXXX with
       your Modeller license key:

          env KEY_MODELLER7v7=XXXX rpm -ivh modeller-7v7-1.i386.rpm

   3)  Documentation and examples can be found in the /usr/lib/modeller7v7/
       directory. Note that if you are not root, you will need to make a
       copy of the examples directory in order to run them.

** GENERIC UNIX INSTALLATION

   1)  Download the modeller7v7.tar.gz file into a temporary directory on your
       computer.

   2)  Open a console or terminal (e.g. xterm, Konsole, GNOME terminal)
       and change to the directory where you downloaded the .tar.gz file.
       Unpack the file with the following commands:

          gunzip modeller7v7.tar.gz
          tar -xvf modeller7v7.tar

      The result of unpacking will be the directory ./modeller7v7, containing
      the following uncompressed files and directories:

         doc/             MODELLER documentation directory
         examples/        directory containing examples and tutorials
         Install          installation script
         INSTALLATION     this file
         README           file describing distribution and registration
         modlib/          libraries and data files for the program
         bin/             .top script files and MODELLER executables

   3)  Go to the ./modeller7v7 directory and run the installation script:

         ./Install

       Answer several questions as prompted. If you make a mistake,
       you can re-run the script.
