= Installation of the Viewer on Ubuntu =

 

== Packages to Install ==

Install the following packages.

{{{
sudo apt-get install libopenscenegraph-dev
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
sudo apt-get install make
}}}

== Download the Code ==
The latest version of the code is available from {{{googlecode}}}. Don't use the version on sourceforge.

If subversion has not  been install do that now via

{{{
sudo apt-get install subversion
}}}

From your home directory, download the anuga viewer code via

{{{
svn checkout http://anuga-viewer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ anuga-viewer
}}}

Change into the new directory {{{anuga-viewer}}}. From this directory build and install the viewer via

{{{
make
sudo make install
}}}

Finally we need to setup some environment variables.

Put the following in your .bashrc file (if you use the bash shell).

{{{
export SWOLLEN_BINDIR=/home/username/anuga-viewer/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$SWOLLEN_BINDIR
}}}

(of course change {{{/home/username}}} to your own home directory. ) With some versions of linux you need to put this command in the file .profile

You should rerun your {{{.bashrc}}} file with

{{{
source .bashrc
}}}

Actually it is usually safer to fire up a new terminal to see if you have been successful in setting up the {{{PATH}}} and {{{SWOLLEN_BINDIR}}}

You can check your {{{PATH}}} with the command

{{{
printenv PYTHONPATH
}}}

== Check Installation ===

Change into the {{{anuga-viewer/data}}} directory and run the {{{anuga_viewer}}} via the command

{{{
anuga_viewer cairns.sww
}}}
