49This document outlines the procedure for installing the Anuga toolbox.
50All components are licensed as open source and readily available from the net.
51It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Python programming language
52and the process of downloading, installing and unpacking files into directories.

55\section{System requirements}
56\label{sec:requirements}
57
58To run ANUGA you will need a Windows PC (XP or Vista) or a Linux PC with at
59least 512MB RAM.  As ANUGA is a memory-intensive numerical system, more memory is better than less.
60
61The viewer (Windows only) requires a graphics adapter that
62is OpenGL compatible. It has been tested with ATI FireGL X1 cards
63and the NVIDIA family. It may not work with other cards such as those from the
64Intel(R) 82915G Express chipset family.
65
66The instructions below are written for the numpy version of ANUGA.  ANUGA changed from
67relying on the Numeric package to the numpy package early in July, 2009.  If you have a Numeric ANUGA,
68you should refer to the installation instructions for that version.  The last Numeric version of
69ANUGA had a build number of 7163.
70
71Where the text below refers to a specific package file such as \code{python-2.5.msi} you will find that
72file in a download area linked through the \emph{numpy_support_software} link on the page
73\url{https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/NumpyInstall}.
74

76\section{Installation}
77
78Below are the install procedures for Windows XP, Windows Vista (both 32 bit) and Linux (32 and 64 bit).
79
80\subsection{Quick install - Windows XP (32 bit)}
81\label{sec:winxp}
82
83If you already have previous versions of Python, ANUGA support software or the ANUGA source code installed
84on the target machine, start off by uninstalling them. Next, download the latest version of the ANUGA
85Windows installer from \url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga/files/}. The Windows installer will
86install Python, MingW (select the "Minimal" install), NumPy, NetCDF, Scientific Python, Matplotlib, the
87ANUGA source code and the viewer (animate). Note that you will need an internet connection to install MingW.
88
89After all the necessary packages have been installed, the installer will proceed to compile the ANUGA C code,
90run the test suite (optional) and then run a series of validation examples (optional). This may take some time.
91Try the demonstrations provided in the ANUGA directory \code{anuga\_demos} (discussed in the ANUGA user manual at
92\url{http://datamining.anu.edu.au/\%7Eole/anuga/user\%5Fmanual/anuga\%5Fuser\%5Fmanual.pdf})
93and view the resulting \code{.sww} files with the ANUGA viewer.
94
95%This procedure assumes that you do not have python installed on the target machine.
96%If you do have a python installed already then skip the installation of python as
97%long as you have version 2.5 or later installed.
98%

128%
129%\begin{itemize} 
130%  \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 -
131%                                                                          the remedy is to rename them back or use another browser such as Firefox.}
132%    in the python site-packages directory \code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages}.
133%    This is often done in Windows by double clicking on the \code{.tgz} file and then 'browse to' the destination directory.
134%
135%  \item In the ANUGA root directory (\code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages$\backslash$anuga}),

138%
139%  \item In the ANUGA root directory (\code{C:$\backslash$Python25$\backslash$Lib$\backslash$site-packages$\backslash$anuga}),
140%    run the test suite (either from the commandline or by running it in IDLE):
141%    \begin{verbatim}python test_all.py\end{verbatim} ANUGA has been succesfully installed if the tests pass.
142%
143%  \item To verify that ANUGA succesfully reproduces a series of validation examples, go
144%    to the directory
145%    \linebreak
146%    \code{anuga_validation$\backslash$automated_validation_tests} under the ANUGA root directory where you can run:

178
179\subsection{Quick install - Windows Vista}
180\label{sec:winvista}
181
182The installation of the support software and the ANUGA software should be the same as for Windows XP above.
183The installation and use of ANUGA under Windows Vista has not been heavily tested.  Feedback on any aspect
184of using ANUGA under Vista is welcomed.
185
186\subsection{Quick install - Linux}
187\label{sec:linux}
188
189The procedure to install onto a Linux platform is targetted at a Debian-like Linux, such as Ubuntu.
190If you use another Linux the overall procedure should be followed, although the details will vary.
191
192The steps below assume that you do not have python installed on the target machine.
193If you do have a python installed already then skip the installation of python as
194long as you have version 2.5 or later.
195
196Note that even if you already have python installed you should still check if things like
197\code{python-dev} and \code{python-profiler} need to be installed.
198

272
273\begin{enumerate} 
274  \item Get the ANUGA source from \url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga} (\code{anuga-1.0_5789.tgz} say),
275    and expand it into the python site-packages directory \code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages}.
276    In the unpacked ANUGA directory \code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/anuga} run the command:
277    \begin{verbatim}sudo python compile_all.py\end{verbatim}
278
279  \item In the ANUGA root directory (\code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/anuga})
280    run the test suite:
281    \begin{verbatim}python test_all.py\end{verbatim} ANUGA has been succesfully installed if the tests pass.
282
283  \item To verify that ANUGA succesfully reproduces a series of validation examples, go
284    to the directory
285    \linebreak
286    \code{/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/anuga_validation/automated_validation_tests}
287    where you can run validation tests to ensure the correct running of ANUGA:
288    \begin{verbatim}python validate_all.py\end{verbatim}
289    This may take some time.
290\end{enumerate}
291
292\section{Optional but recommended software}
293This software is not required to run the ANUGA toolbox, but it is recommended.
294\begin{itemize}
295  \item psyco. Speeds up ANUGA by about 30\%, so is strongly recommended.
296    Under Ubuntu install either through Synaptic or by:
297    \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-psyco\end{verbatim}
298    Under Windows install the file \code{psyco-1.6.win32-py25.exe}
299    which you can find on the \url{http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html} page.
300
301  \item VTK. The Visualization Toolkit. Under Ubuntu install either through Synaptic or by:
302    \begin{verbatim}sudo apt-get install python-vtk\end{verbatim}
303    Under Windows install the file \code{vtk-5.4.2-win32.exe}
304    from the \url{http://www.vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html} page.

357\section{Setting the PATH on Windows}
358\label{sec:setwindowspath}
359
360The Windows one-click installer should automatically set the necessary PATH
361environment "System variables". However, in case you do not have
362permission to modify the system variable, then the method of setting the PATH environment "User variable"
363for Windows XP is shown here. Setting the variable for Windows Vista should be similar.

402If the \code{PATH} variable is not defined in the 'User variables' or 'System variables' windows,
403press the \code{New} button in either of the two windows (for a personal machine, choose the 'System variables' window).
404
405If \code{PATH} already exists in the 'User variable' or 'System variables' window,
406select the row with the \code{PATH} variable name in the appropriate window
407and press the \code{Edit} button next to the \code{New} button in that window:

416You will be shown the editor window whichever button you pressed in the above step. If the \code{Variable name} box is empty
417type in the name \code{PATH}.  In the \code{Variable value} box type the value you want the \code{PATH} variable to have.  If there
418is already some text in the box, place your additional value at the front of the existing value, not forgetting to terminate your additional
419string with the ';' character. The final value string must be a series of directory names seperated by ';' characters:

430\section{Associating animate.exe with a .sww file}
431\label{sec:assocanimatesww}
432
433The one-click installer should associate animate.exe with .sww files automatically. However, the method of associating
434\code{animate.exe} with a \code{.sww} file manually is shown here for Windows XP.
435A similar process should work for Windows Vista.
436
437Double left-click on any \code{.sww} file.  This brings up a dialog because Windows doesn't know how to open the file:
