* Step-by-step instructions to use KAPSEL [#s1fa1365] ** STEP 0: Linux or Windows? [#sd4e991d] - If you want to use KAPSEL on Linux (recommended), goto STEP 1. - If you want to use KAPSEL on Windows, install "[[Cygwin:http://cygwin.com]]" first, then goto STEP 1. Be sure to install "gcc" and "make" packages. - KAPSEL can be used on Mac OS X, but it is not supported. ** STEP 1: Download and install "Gourmet" [#b5c31f22] - "Gourmet" is a graphic platform developed by OCTA project. The entire OCTA package is not necessarily. Only Gourmet is required to use KAPSEL. - Goto [[OCTA-BBS:http://octa001.muse.aist.go.jp/phpBB3/]] and register to get your ID. - Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "OCTA2007" -> "Platform GOURMET2007 in OCTA2007 (for Windows)" or "GOURMET 4.1.0 (on OCTA2007) for Windows and Linux" to download "Gourmet" package. - Follow the instruction there to install "Gourmet". ** STEP 2: Build "libplatform" [#b16eb306] - "libplatform" is an I/O library developed by OCTA project. One needs this to access to UDF-formatted files. - Instruction for Linux: > su > cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007 > tar xvfpz gourmet*_src.tar.gz > cd src > make > make install - Instruction for Windows: (Logon Windows with an administrator authorization and open Cygwin window.) $ ln -s /cygdrive/c/OCTA2007/ /usr/local/. $ cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007 $ unzip GOURMET2007_SRC.zip $ cd src $ make $ make install ** STEP 3: Download "KAPSEL" [#hcf749f2] - Goto [[KAPSEL-BBS:http://www.cheme.kyoto-u.ac.jp/1koza/kapsel/phpBB3/]] and register to get your ID. - Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "KAPSEL-2" -> "KAPSEL-2" to download "kapsel.tar.gz". - Download "&ref(Makefile);" and overwrite an existing file included in the "kapsel.tar.gz" ** STEP 4: Build "KAPSEL" [#h2d3c3c3] > echo $PF_FILES (Set "PF_FILES" properly, if it has not done yet.) > tar xvfpz kapsel.tar.gz > cd kapsel > make ** STEP 5: Test "KAPSEL" [#l7319ece] - Download "&ref(define.udf);" and "&ref(sample1.udf);", and type the following. > ./kapsel/kapsel -Isample1.udf -Ooutput.udf -Ddefine.udf -Rrestart.udf ** STEP 6: Use "KAPSEL" [#tea48551] - Download an appropriate sample "****.udf" file from the examples. - Modify the sample "****.udf" file using "Gourmet" for your own purpose, and save it as "new_name.udf". > ./kapsel/kapsel -Inew_name.udf -Ooutput.udf -Ddefine.udf -Rrestart.udf - Start "Gourmet" and then read "output.udf". Use "show_field.py" or "plot.py" to animate or to plot velocity data.
