Unpacking the RSIM software distribution

 

RSIM version 1.0 is available as a UNIX tar file rsim-1.0.tar (uncompressed format) or rsim-1.0.tar.gz (compressed with gzip). Unpacking the file requires the UNIX tar utility. The compressed format also requires the gunzip utility (available from the Free Software Foundation at http://www.gnu.org).

For the compressed format, first uncompress the file (some web browsers will uncompress the file automatically) with:

prompt% gunzip rsim-1.0.tar.gz

This will create the file rsim-1.0.tar. Now unpack this file with:

prompt% tar -xf rsim-1.0.tar

This will produce a directory rsim-1.0, containing the following subdirectories:

apps

Example applications ported to RSIM (including source, executable, and output files), the RSIM applications library, header files, and generic application makefile

bin

RSIM utilities for statistics processing
