\chapter{Introduction}

This document outlines the procedure for installing the Anuga toolbox.
All components are licensed as open source and readily available from the net.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Python programming language
and the process of downloading, installing and unpacking files into directories.


\section{System requirements}
\label{sec:requirements}

To run ANUGA you will need a Windows PC (XP or Vista) or a Linux PC with at 
least 512MB RAM.

The viewer (Windows only) requires a graphics adapter that
is OpenGL compatible. It has been tested with ATI FireGL X1 cards
and the NVIDIA family. It may not work with other cards such as those from the
Intel(R) 82915G Express chipset family.


\section{Installation}

Below are the install procedures for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Linux.

\subsection{Quick install - Windows XP}
\label{sec:winxp}

This procedure assumes that you do not have python installed on the target machine.
If you do have a python installed already then skip the installation of python as
long as you have version 2.3 or later installed.

\begin{enumerate}  
  \item Install the support software.
    These packages are available from either:
    \begin{itemize} 
      \item The supplied ANUGA distribution folder: \code{pre_requisites$\backslash$2.5}.
        Install in order:
        \begin{enumerate}
          \item Execute \code{python-2.5.msi} to install python.
          \item Execute \code{Numeric-23.8.2.win32-py2.5.exe} to install Numeric Python.
          \item Execute \code{ScientificPython-2.7.8.win32-py2.5.exe} to install Scientific Python.
          \item Execute \code{MinGW-5.1.4.exe} to install MinGW.
        \end{enumerate} and then unpack \code{netcdf-3.6.1-win32dll.zip} into a folder that is available on the system path.
        We suggest unpacking it into \code{C:$\backslash$bin}.
      \item The Internet. Install in order:
        \begin{enumerate}  
          \item \url{http://www.python.org/download/}. Click on the \code{Python 2.5.x Windows installer} link to get
            \code{python-2.5.x.msi}. Execute this file to install python.
          \item \url{http://sourcesup.cru.fr/frs/?group\%5Fid=180}. Download \code{Numeric-23.8.2.win32-py2.5.exe}
            and execute it to install Numeric Python.
          \item \url{http://sourcesup.cru.fr/frs/?group\%5Fid=180}. Download \code{ScientificPython-2.X.X.win32-py2.5.exe}
            and execute it to install Scientific Python.
          \item \url{http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group\%5Fid=2435}. Click on the \code{Download} link for
            the \code{MinGW_5.1.4} package. Execute the file \code{MinGW-5.X.X.exe} to install the MinGW environment.
            Note that you need a working internet connection to install WinGW.
          \item \url{http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/binaries.html}. Click on the 
            \code{Windows DLL} link in the NetCDF 3.6.1 section.  This will download the file \code{netcdf-3.6.1-win32.zip}.
            Unpack this in a folder that is available on the system path. 
            We suggest unpacking it into \code{C:$\backslash$bin}.
        \end{enumerate}   
    \end{itemize}   
  
  \item Add the following to the PATH environment variable:
    \begin{verbatim}PATH=C:\Python25;C:\MingW\bin;C:\bin\end{verbatim}
    For details on how to do this under Windows please refer to Appendix \ref{sec:setwindowspath}.

    Note that if you have another version of python installed, 2.4  say, you would replace any
    \code{Python25} above with \code{Python24}.
    A similar replacement should be made in all following steps wherever you see \code{Python25}.

  \item Unpack the ANUGA source code (\code{anuga-1.0_xxxx.tgz})\footnote{Internet Explorer has the habit of renaming the .tgz files to .gz - 
                                                                          the remedy is to rename them back or use another browser such as Firefox.} 
    in the python site-packages directory \code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages}.
    This is often done in Windows by double clicking on the \code{.tgz} file and then 'browse to' the destination directory.

  \item In the ANUGA root directory (\code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages$\backslash$anuga}), 
    run the compilation script (either from the commandline or by running it in IDLE):
    \begin{verbatim}python compile_all.py\end{verbatim}

  \item In the ANUGA root directory (\code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages$\backslash$anuga}),
    run the test suite (either from the commandline or by running it in IDLE):
    \begin{verbatim}python test_all.py\end{verbatim} ANUGA has been succesfully installed if the tests pass.

  \item To verify that ANUGA succesfully reproduces a series of validation examples, go
    to the directory
    \linebreak
    \code{anuga_validation$\backslash$automated_validation_tests} under the ANUGA root directory where you can run:
    \begin{verbatim}python validate_all.py\end{verbatim}
    This may take some time.

  \item To install the ANUGA viewer:
    \begin{enumerate} 
      \item Unpack the distribution (\code{anuga_viewer_1.0.tgz}) into:
        \begin{verbatim}C:\Program Files\end{verbatim}

      \item Double click on the test file:
        \begin{verbatim}C:\Program Files\anuga_viewer\cylinders.sww\end{verbatim}

      \item Associate \code{.sww} files with the executable:
      \begin{verbatim}C:\Program Files\anuga_viewer\animate.exe\end{verbatim}        
      For details on how to do this under Windows please refer to Appendix \ref{sec:assocanimatesww}.
    \end{enumerate} 

    Try the demonstrations provided in the ANUGA directory \code{anuga\_demos} 
    (discussed in the ANUGA user manual at 
    \url{http://datamining.anu.edu.au/\%7Eole/anuga/user\%5Fmanual/anuga\%5Fuser\%5Fmanual.pdf})
    and view the resulting \code{.sww} files with the ANUGA viewer.
\end{enumerate}   


%To run the ANUGA against the Okushiri Island wave tank validation dataset
%(\url{http://www.cee.cornell.edu/longwave})
%go to \code{anuga_validation}
% into
%any directory and run the scripts \code{create_okushiri.py},
%\code{run_okushiri.py} and \code{compare_timeseries.py}.  See also the
%\code{README.txt} file that comes with the validation scripts for more
%details.

\subsection{Quick install - Windows Vista}
\label{sec:winvista}

There has been one reported instance of ANUGA being installed successfully on Windows Vista.
The following steps should be read in conjunction with the windows XP procedures above:

\begin{enumerate}  
  \item Install \code{python-2.5.msi}.
  \item Add the directory \code{C:$\backslash$Python25} to the \code{PATH} environment variable (appendix \ref{sec:setwindowspath}).
  \item Install \code{Numeric-23.8.2.win32-py2.5.exe} (as administrator).
  \item Install \code{ScientificPython-2.7.8.win32-py2.5.exe} (as administrator).
  \item Install \code{MinGW-5.1.4.exe} (as administrator). Use the default package selection.  Don't use old packages and let it make fresh downloads.
  \item Unpack \code{netcdf-3.6.1-beta1-win32dll.zip} into \code{C:$\backslash$bin}.
  \item Add the directory \code{C:$\backslash$bin} to the \code{PATH} environment variable (appendix \ref{sec:setwindowspath}).
  \item Install \code{pysco-1.6.win32-py2.5.exe} (as administrator).
  \item Install \code{matplotlib-0.91.2.win32-py2.5.exe} (as administrator).
  \item Install \code{numpy-1.1.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe} (as administrator).
  \item Check that the system variable \code{PATH} contains
        \code{C:$\backslash$Python2.5;C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$DLLs;C:$\backslash$bin;C:$\backslash$MinGW$\backslash$bin}
        (appendix \ref{sec:setwindowspath}).
  \item Now follow the Windows XP install steps from the ANUGA source code install step.
\end{enumerate}

Some of the installed packages above are optional and may not be required, but this is the reported working install we have received.

\subsection{Quick install - Linux}
\label{sec:linux}

The procedure to install onto a Linux platform is targetted at a Debian-like Linux, such as Ubuntu.
If you use another Linux the overall procedure should be followed, although the details will vary.

This steps below assume that you do not have python installed on the target machine.
If you do have a python installed already then skip the installation of python as
long as you have version 2.3 or later.

Note that even if you already have python installed you should still check if things like 
\code{python-dev} and \code{python-profiler} need to be installed.

\begin{itemize}
  \item Install support software (in order):
    \begin{enumerate}  
      \item Install python development environment, either through Synaptic or by:
        \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-profiler\end{verbatim}
      \item Install Numeric Python, either through Synaptic or by:
        \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-numeric\end{verbatim}
      \item Install Scientific Python, either through Synaptic or by:
        \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-scientific\end{verbatim}
      \item Install NetCDF, either through Synaptic or by:
        \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-netcdf\end{verbatim}
      \item Install \code{gcc} and it's development environment if you don't have it, either through Synaptic or by:
        \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install gcc libc6-dev\end{verbatim}
        Ensure that \code{libc6-dev} is installed even if \code{gcc} is already installed.
    \end{enumerate}   
  \item Get the ANUGA source from \url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga} (\code{anuga-1.0_5789.tgz} say),
    and expand it into the python site-packages directory \code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages}.
    In the unpacked ANUGA directory \code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/anuga_core} run the command:
    \begin{verbatim}sudo python compile_all.py\end{verbatim}
\end{itemize}

\section{Optional but recommended software}
This software is not required to run the ANUGA toolbox, but it is recommended.
\begin{itemize}
  \item psyco. Speeds up ANUGA by about 30\%. Under Ubuntu install either through Synaptic or by:
    \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-psyco\end{verbatim}
    Under Windows install the file \code{psyco-1.6.win32-py25.exe}
    which you can find from the \url{http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html} page.
  \item matplotlib. For quality 2d plotting (moving towards mandatory requirement). Under Ubuntu install either through Synaptic or by:
    \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib\end{verbatim}
    Under Windows install the file \code{matplotlib-0.98.3.win32-py2.5.exe}
    which you can find from the \url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib} page.
  \item VTK. The Visualization Toolkit. Under Ubuntu install either through Synaptic or by:
    \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-vtk\end{verbatim}
    Under Windows install the file \code{vtk-5.2.0-win32.exe}
    from the \url{http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php} page.
\end{itemize}



\section{Testing}

In the ANUGA root directory, run the test suite:
\begin{verbatim}
python test_all.py
\end{verbatim}
ANUGA has been succesfully installed if the tests pass as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
