Documentation for the HOLE: 2.4.1 Setup if you don't have f77

2.4.1 Setup if you don't have f77

This relies on you being able to run a set of executables compiled on machines which I have access to. The first thing you need to do is find out what operating system your machine runs:

uname -a

Hopefully you should see something like this:

jura> uname -a
IRIX jura 5.2 02282016 IP22 mips

Once you have done this then follow these steps:

Get to the directory by typing cd ~/hole2/exe
Establish ftp access to the Birmingham Biochemistry ftp server by typing ftp windy.bip.bham.ac.uk
Use the username anonymous and your email address as a password.
Once you have established access type the ftp command: bin to make sure that files are transfered as binary.
At the ftp prompt type: cd pub/hole2

See what directories are there by typing ls. N.b. you may get a different result from that shown here as things change with time.

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls (192.84.212.106,1778).

Hopefully one of the upper case directory names should be similar to the result of uname -a. Try to select the version which has a lower number than yours e.g., for IRIX 5.2 go for IRIX-4.0.1:
```
cd IRIX-4.0.1 
```
Get into binary mode by typing bin, then type get exes.tar.Z.crypt and once the transfer is complete type bye.
You should now have the file exes.tar.Z.crypt in the directory ~/hole2/exe.
The file is encrypted. To return it to its former glory type the command crypt < exes.tar.Z.crypt > exes.tar.Z. You will be prompted Enter key: enter the key that has been sent to you by e-mail.
exes.tar.Z is a compressed tar file. First uncompress it by typing the command uncompress exes.tar.Z.
Unpack the .tar file by typing the command tar xvf exes.tar. You should see a list of the files created appear on the screen.
Now procedure with the rest of the setup by following steps set out in section 2.5 and answering no when the setup script asks you whether you have a f77 complier.
