Installation - SCEDC/stp GitHub Wiki

The command-line client runs on Unix, Linux, and Mac. On Windows systems, the client can be built in Cygwin or the Linux Subsystem for Windows 10, or an existing Cygwin client can be downloaded. Building the client requires tar and gcc. Macs require the XCode command-line tools. This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with basic command line usage.

To install the client, start by downloading the latest tar file from http://scedc.caltech.edu/research-tools/downloads.html#stp. The following commands are what you would run to unpack and install STP 1.6.3 on a Linux system:

tar xvf stp1.6.3.tar 
cd stp1.6.3
make linux_stp

On Macs, the last line should be make mac_stp. On Unix systems, make is sufficient.

Make creates an executable file, stp,in the stp1.6.3 directory. Copy stp to a directory in your path and type stp at the command line to start the client.
