Debian class systems
As of release 1.11, we provide a Debian binary package (32 bit package for Intel/AMD). We have tested that the
package works properly on Ubuntu and Debian systems. To install it, please
perform the following tasks:
- Download the package from
http://www.mcstas.org/download
- As root, issue the command
apt-get install perl perl-Tk gcc libc6-dev libg2c0 pdl bash
- Optionally, as root, issue the commands
apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server
apt-get install mpich-bin libmpich1.0c2 libmpich1.0-dev
to benefit from MPI and SSH grid parallelization
- As root, issue the command
dpkg-reconfigure dash
and
say 'no' to install dash as /bin/sh.
- As root, issue the command
dpkg -i mcstas-1.11-i686.deb
. This later step may be replaced by a ./configure; make; make install procedure after extraction of the Mctas tarball (see below)
Updating your operating system to a new release may in some cases require you to re-install McStas following the procedure above. We hope to make a so-called apt repository available in the future, which will ensure automatic upgrade of McStas in case of a new release.
