To use UVMAT and CIV locally on a linux machine, follow the following indications.

Go to a folder where you want to install uvmat. In this folder, a "uvmat" folder will be created by the following procedure.

For a 64 bit architecture, copy paste the lines below :

wget http://coriolis.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/IMG/tgz/uvmat_include_linux64.tgz
tar -xzvf uvmat_include_linux64.tgz 
mv uvmat_linux64 uvmat
rm uvmat_include_linux64.tgz 
cd uvmat
svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-uvmat/trunk/src ./

You can then launch Matlab, add the uvmat folder to your Matlab path, type uvmat and play.

For a 64 bit architecture, copy paste the lines below :

wget http://coriolis.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/IMG/tgz/uvmat_include_linux64.tgz
tar -xzvf uvmat_include_linux32.tgz 
mv uvmat_linux32 uvmat
rm uvmat_include_linux64.tgz 
cd uvmat
svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-uvmat/trunk/src ./
