On you linux prompt type

wget http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/EZ_3_6_3.tar.gz

to download the file.

To unpack type

tar xvzf EZ_3_6_3.tar.gz

This will unpack all the files in a directory EZ_3_6_3.

Switch to this directory:

cd EZ_3_6_3

There are a lot of ._* files in the different directories. You can get rid of them with the command

find . -name “._*” -exec rm -f {} \;

Change to directory make

cd make

execute the makefile skript (default) using the make command

make

the original version of makefile uses gfortran. If that does not work on your computer of platform, you probably have to modify the makefile (or install gfortran).

There should now be a version of the EZ executable in the run subdirectory off the main EZ_3_6_3 directory. To change to this diectory, do

cd ../run

Type

ls -latr

to see the files, sorted in reverse order of creation. Here is a dead link.

We want to establish a page on graphical visualization tools as well in section graphics
