Checkout anuga via svn (might need to install svn via the command "sudo apt-get install subversion") Checkout anuga via: svn checkout https://anuga.anu.edu.au/svn/trunk/anuga_core anuga_core Should produce an anuga_core directory. Put the following in your .bashrc file export PYTHONPATH=/home/steve/anuga_core/source (of course change /home/steve to your home directory. ) Should rerun your .bashrc file with source .bashrc Need to install some libraries sudo apt-get install python-scientific sudo apt-get install python-dev sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib sudo apt-get install python-profiler Now go to the directory anuga_core compile the anuga files via: python compile_all.py Run the unit tests via: python test_all.py Hopefully everything works (except for the expected 1 failure regarding ghost triangles)
