Public installation (in /usr/local) is the default. Unpack the tar file, then cd to the source directory (epix-x.y.z_complete). If you are installing in /usr/local, your C++ compiler is g++, and bash is in /bin/bash, then do
make make contrib (optional) make test (optional) make install(the last as root, if necessary). If bash is not in /bin/bash, edit the script newbash.sh and run it in the source directory. If the install directory or compiler are not as above, edit the Makefile accordingly, then build. If a failed partial compile creates the header file epix.h, you must do make clean before re-compiling.
If you have installed in $HOME, please see the POST-INSTALL file for additional instructions.
The directory in which you install ePiX is denoted $INSTALL. A successful make install creates the following files:
$INSTALL/bin/{epix,elaps,laps,flix,keywords}
$INSTALL/include/epix.h
$INSTALL/lib/libepix.a
$INSTALL/man/man1/epix.1
Sample files, notes and README files, configuration snippets, and (if
the complete package is installed) this tutorial are
installed in subdirectories of $INSTALL/share/epix.
