IBP banding data system: Internal maintenance specification | |
The following sections describe installation of the software on a Unix-like system from either a ZIP archive or from the Web.
At the moment, the author has not prepared a Windows installation. The principal tools (Python and emacs) do, however, run on Windows.
For Python on Windows, see the Python download page.
For emacs on Windows, see the emacs page at the Free Software Foundation.
This software is distributed on a CD-ROM as a ZIP archive
named iband7.00.zip.
Move this archive file to the directory above where you want the files to live, then unzip the archive with:
unzip iband7.00.zip
This will create subdirectory iband7,
which contains the external specification. Under this
are two subdirectories:
iband7/ims contains
Python documentation and files.
iband7/emacs contains
documentation and files for the emacs extensions.
To set up a working directory where you can edit and
process files, see the list of files in Section 1.1, “Files generated from this document”. You will find all these
files in subdirectory iband7/ims.
Copy all the scripts such as iband8, plus all files ending in .py,
to your working directory.
If you are using the emacs extensions, copy all the
files whose names end in .el from
subdirectory iband7/emacs to your
working directory.
