5Installing Geomorph from the source package
6--------------------------------------------------
7
81. Open a console and untar the archive:
9
10tar zxf geomorph-0.60.tgz
11
122. Change to the Geomorph directory:
13
14cd geomorph-0.60
15
163. Build the software:
17
18./configure
19make
20
214. Logon as "root":
22
23su
24
255. Install the executable:
26
27make install
28
296. Leave the root account:
30
31exit
32
337. Install you as a user:
34
35./install-user
36
37This script creates a /home/.../geomorph directory, a configuration file in this directory and installs shortcuts on the Gnome and KDE desktops.
38
39If you upgrade from 0.2x to 0.3x or 0.4x, you should also update the geomorphrc file:
40./update-rc
41
42If you are experimented and want to choose yourself were to create the required structures, you can check the script, create the required directory and files manually, then create a compliant Geomorph configuration file.
43
448. "make uninstall" as root would uninstall Geomorph.  However, the users won't be uninstalled.

47Installing Geomorph from the binary package
48--------------------------------------------------
49
501. Open a console and untar the archive:
51
52tar zxf geomorph-0.60-bin.tgz
53
542. Change to the Geomorph directory:
55
56cd geomorph-0.60
57
583. Log on as "root":
59
60su
61
624. Install the program:
63
64./install-bin
65
665. Leave the root account:
67
68exit
69
706. Install you as a user:
71
72./install-user
73
74See the comments for step 7 of the source install process.
75
767. "./uninstall" as root in the same directory would uninstall Geomorph, but without removing any of the users' directories and configuration files.

79Installing the docs
80-------------------
81
82The documentation of version 0.30 and later is available separately, in an achive whose name is geomorph-doc-AAAA-MM.tgz.
83
841. Open a console and untar the archive:
85
86tar zxf geomorph-doc-AAAA-MM.tgz
87
882. Change to the Geomorph documentation directory:
89
90cd geomorph-doc
91
923. Log on as "root":
93
94 su
95
964. Execute the install script:
97
98./install-doc
99
1005. Leave the root account:
101
102exit
103
104The install script copies the files in /usr/local/share/geomorph/doc and tries to modify the "doc_dir" variable in the configuration file "geomorphrc" (if the script can find this file!).
105
106If an older version of the documentation exists in /usr/local/share/geomorph/doc, it is overwritten. The script won't overwrite the installed documentation with an older one. This directory contains a file named "VERSION" with the date of the version, and the script creates here a "stamp" file with the installation date.
