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 svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-uvmat/trunk/src uvmat/ }}} You can then launch Matlab, add the uvmat folder to your Matlab path, type uvmat and play. For a 32 bit architecture, copy paste the lines below : {{{ wget http://coriolis.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/IMG/tgz/uvmat_include_linux32.tgz tar -xzvf uvmat_include_linux32.tgz mv uvmat_linux32 uvmat rm uvmat_include_linux32.tgz svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-uvmat/trunk/src uvmat/ }}}
