Thread: install sac

Hi Pragyant,
Here is my trusty guide to installing SAC on Ubuntu.

*Installing SAC on Ubuntu:*
*Get source code:*
Download the SAC source code as a gzipped tar file and save it to a local
directory. I will call this $WORKDIR in the steps below (but when typing
the commands, you should replace $WORKDIR with the path to your particular
directory). I suggest saving the source file to your home directory, or
another directory where you keep various source code packages.
In Terminal, go to the directory where you saved the tgz file and extract
it:
cd $WORKDIR
tar xzvf sac-101.6a-source.tar.gz
This will produce a folder called sac101.6a in $WORKDIR.

*Install dependencies:*
If you haven't updated your machine in a while, it is probably a good idea
to do so before installing SAC. You will also need to install the ncurses
and x11 packages.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
I assume you already have the gcc compiler installed (type which gcc to
confirm that you do).

From $WORKDIR :

cd sac-101.6a
chmod +x configure
chmod +x config/install-sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

*Set up SAC macro directory and startup macro:*
You will want to set up a directory where you will keep your SAC macros. I
will call this $MACRODIR (but again, replace $MACRODIR with the actual path
to your directory of choice when typing the commands). Add these lines to
a file called init.m in $MACRODIR:
qdp off
color on i on
setmacro $MACRODIR

*Add SAC to $PATH:*
Finally, add these lines to ~/.bashrc:
export SACHOME=/usr/local/sac
. ${SACHOME}/bin/sacinit.sh
alias 'sac=$SACHOME/bin/sac $MACRODIR/init.m'
The last command (alias sac...) will run the commands in init.m when you
first launch SAC. This is useful for turning off the quick-and-dirty plot
option, turning on colors for plotting, etc.

Close the terminal you've been working in, launch a new terminal, and type
sac
You should now be set up to run SAC.
Let me know if you encounter any difficulties.

Emily
