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 wn_matrix. 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. (Microsoft windows users may wish to use Cygwin, a linux/unix-like environment for Windows. To install Cygwin, please see our video tutorial.)
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 wn_matrix_x.tar.gz
where x is the version number of the release you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded wn_matrix_0.2.tar.gz, type
gunzip wn_matrix_0.2.tar.gz
Now extract the distribution by typing
tar xvf wn_matrix_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 wn_matrix_x.tar
