Warning: This is no longer the latest available version of this module. Please see the releases page for the most recent version. The Webnucleo group strongly recommends the use of the latest version of any of its online modules.
This tutorial demonstrates how to download Webnucleo's distribution of libnucnet. It assumes you are in a Linux or Unix environment. If you are using a different operating system, please adjust the following instructions as appropriate. If you do not have linux or unix on your computer, or if you are not familiar with this operating system, you may wish to visit our Tutorials page.
Create a Modules Directory
If you do not already have a modules directory, create one. An appropriate location might be ~/modules, so type
cd ~
This gets you to your home directory. Now type
mkdir modules
This command creates a modules directory under your home directory.
Download the Tarball
Download the gzipped tarball for this release from the downloads page. Place the tarball in your ~/modules directory.
Extract the Distribution
You now need to unzip the tarball. To do so, type
gunzip libnucnet_x.tar.gz
where x is the version number of the release you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded libnucnet_0.1.tar.gz, type
gunzip libnucnet_0.1.tar.gz
Now extract the distribution by typing
tar xvf libnucnet_x.tar
where again x is the version number you downloaded. The result should be the directory structure seen in the module overview.
You may wish to clean up your ~/modules directory. To do so, type
rm libnucnet_x.tar
