Installation
(Γ Version 4.0.6) |

This section details how to install the GAMMA platform. There MUST be a valid C++ compiler on your computer system before GAMMA can work, so that will be the starting point for the instructions. The compiler should be ANSI compatible and contain the standard C++ library libstdc++. Choose a link (to the left under Installation) that fits the computer type you will be performing the installation on. The primary method of installing GAMMA itself is to download the source code package and compile it. If you have a working compiler, and you must, this should be relatively easy. Alternative ways of installing GAMMA are to obtain the binaries. This is also easy, providing that they have been built for your computer system. Since the binaries are system specific, it is likely that they will not exist for your system unless it is common. Finally, installation of GAMMA documentaion, examples, etc. should be done separately. These are NOT required to build GAMMA programs and NOT included in either the source code package or any binary package. Their installation is merely to unpack them from the base GAMMA directory. |

Much of the material at GAMMA WWW sites is available for downloading and can be set up for locally based Γ documentation. This includes HTML and PDF documentation sets, tutorials, and example programs. See the Downloading section at any of the GAMMA sites. |
