\chapter{Introduction}

This document outlines the required software for installing the Anuga toolbox.
All components are licensed as open source and readily available from the net.


\section{Pre-requisites}

The Anuga software core (pyvolution, pmesh, least\_squares, ...) depends on the following:

\begin{itemize}
  \item python 2.3 or later \url{http://www.python.org}
  \item python-numeric
  \item python-dev (Interestingly, numeric seems to be installed as well)
  \item python-scientific (to provide python-netcdf)
    \url{http://www-md.fsl.noaa.gov/eft/developer/netCDFPythonInterface.html}
    (The file netcdf.dll shipped with python-scientific must be copied to a
    location somewhere on the system PATH - e.g.\ in \verb|C:\bin|)
  \item A C compiler such as gcc (from GNU in case of Linux and MinGW in case of Windows)
\end{itemize}


\section{Recommended software}

\begin{itemize}
  \item psyco \url{http://psyco.sourceforge.net/index.html}
  \item visual python \url{http://vpython.org}
  \item matplotlib (pylab) for quality 2d plotting
  \item VTK \url{http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/dwnld/vtk/win32/}
\end{itemize}



\section{System configuration}


The system path on Win32 architectures must contain the directories
\begin{verbatim}
  PATH=C:\Python23;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\swollen
\end{verbatim}
(similar for Linux....)

In addition the root directory for all anuga/inundation modules must be on
the pythonpath, e.g.\
\begin{verbatim}
PYTHONPATH=C:\anuga\inundation
\end{verbatim}





\section{Installation}

(Explain how to check out from svn or obtain from elsewhere)


In the ANUGA root directory, run the compilation script:
{\small \begin{verbatim}
  python compile_all.py
\end{verbatim}}



\subsection{Testing}

In the ANUGA root directory, run the test suite:
{\small \begin{verbatim}
  python test_all.py
\end{verbatim}}




\section{Other stuff to be included}

\begin{verbatim}
Install tortoise from downloads (ITs didn't integrate wih explorer).
In settings set proxy to proxy.agso.gov.au  8080


Install swollen from latest distro (in subversion)


\end{verbatim}
