Unix/Linux
- On a Linux or Solaris system, put the downloaded file into a suitable directory. Open up a terminal window and move to the appropriate directory using the unix command 'cd'.
- Next, unzip the file ( 'tar xzvf filename.tar.gz'), where filename is the name of the downloaded file.
- Move into the 'frontend' directory ('cd frontend'). Type './install'.
Note: If you do not have administrative privilages you can install structure into the current folder with './install .' - You can run structure by typing './structure' in the 'frontend' directory.
- In order to install the frontend you will need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE Version >1.6.0). This can be downloaded for free from http://www.java.com/downloads/
- If you have trouble installing or running the program, try installing and running from root (i.e., type 'sudo ./install' and 'sudo ./structure'). You will need to use the root password.
Package without front end
The downloaded files are compressed in zip files; uncompress them using "unzip [filename]" on Unix/Linux/Mac OS X system or using winzip on windows. The zip files contain an executable and parameter files, as well as a sample data file "testdata1". The program is set up to run on these data immediately (just type "./structure" to start the program).
