Install

To install:

1. Untar the "eng_graph_v1.0.0_beta.tgz file". Notice there is a "dougdata" link in that directory that defaults to "/dougdata".
2. Extract the "eng_graph_dougdata_pack_v1.0.0_beta.tgz" (referred to as data pack) somewhere (it is recommended that this be somewhere on the local machine where doug will be run and not on a network path such as a home dir).
3. Modify the dougdata link to point to the location where you extracted the data pack.

That's it. To run, cd into the eng_graphics directory and type "./run_graphics"

To integrate into your sim:

See the instructions in README.sim_integration inside the model pack.
