Installing JSim on Linux
JSim's Linux distribution runs on the i386 and x64 (aka amd64, em64t, x86_64) hardware architectures. Users running Linux on other hardware architectures (e.g. IA64, Sparc, PowerPC) should use the JSim source distribution instead. If you are unsure of your hardware architecture, see the uname command on your Linux system ("man uname").
Download the appropriate JSim zip archive. Providing the following information will help us demonstrate JSim's continued utility to the funding agencies upon which we rely. Filling out this form will not result in your addition to any mailing lists. However, if you wish to be added to the JSim mailing list, please contact us.
- Unpack the .zip file using your favorite zip utility ("unzip" is often available) in a directory of your choice, called INSTALLDIR in this document.
- Inside INSTALLDIR the sub-directory linux_i386/bin contains four
shell scripts:
- jsim : the JSim GUI application;
- jsbatch : the JSim text-based batch application;
- jsfim : command-line based functional imaging application;
- jsserver : the JSim remote server computational engine.
You should either add this sub-directory to your PATH or copy the executables themselves to a path-searchable directory on your system. You must also set the environment variable JSIMHOME to INSTALLDIR before starting either program. See your local Linux documentation on how to do this.
- Note that NSR is built and tested at NSR under Redhat EL Linux for Intel, and is known to be compatible in some degree with some older versions of Redhat. Users of other Linux distributions may need to adjust appropriately.
- Optional advanced administration:
- Customizing a JSim Installation : describes customization options, appropriate for advanced installation.
- Administering a JSim Server : how to set up a network-accessible JSim computation server.
- Administering a JSim-enabled Web Site : how to write web pages incorporating live JSim applets.
