Installing FRView through an automated script - sintefmath/FRView GitHub Wiki

This document describes how to set up FRView on a standard RHEL 6 installation using an automated script, to do it manually, please consult the Compiling and installing FRView on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 document. The walkthrough requires access to the yum install command.

First we need to install some packages provided by yum, namely the group package "Development Tools" and the packages

• qt-devel
• git
• cmake
• libXmu-devel
• libXi-devel
• freeglut-devel
• boost-devel
• libxml2-devel
• apr-devel
• httpd-devel

To install these packages, issue the following two commands:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install qt-devel git cmake libXmu-devel libXi-devel freeglut-devel boost-devel libxml2-devel apr-devel httpd-devel

First we need to checkout FRView from github:

git clone https://github.com/sintefmath/FRView.git

Then run the script (NOTE: You must run the script from within the FRView folder)

cd FRView
bash rhel_install.sh <path to where you want FRView and Tinia installed>

The script can take a while as it will download and install GLEW, GLM, Tinia and HPMC. At the end of the script it will tell you how to run the apache server with a line like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<somedir>/lib:<somedir>/lib64 httpd -d <somedir>/httpd

To test that it worked you could start the executable frview_desktop_job, or if you have the tinia server up and running you could point your browser to localhost:8080/trell/static and start the program frview_cloud_job.

All source folders are kept intact. You can run git commands within the FRView folder, and within the extra_code/tinia and extra_code/hpmc folders. The build directories are extra_code/frview_build, extra_code/tinia/build and extra_code/hpmc/build. Issue the command

make install

Within the build directories to compile and install new changes. These will be available after you restart the server as well.
