Downloading Anaphe

This page refers only to the license-free versions of the libraries. If you want the licensed versions go here first. Older versions of Anaphe can be installed using export kits.

The Auto-Download Script (Linux only)

The easiest way of downloading Anaphe is via http using the automated script anaphe-setup.py (updated 19-aug-2003 for Anaphe-5/AIDA-3). Download it and make it executable (chmod 755 anaphe-setup.py) and run it like this:
anaphe-setup.py --topDir <topdir> --version <vers> --aidaDir <yourAIDADir> --aidaVers <yourAIDAVersion>
so for example to download the latest release for Anaphe-5/AIDA-3:
anaphe-setup.py --topDir $HOME/Anaphe/release --version 5.0.5 --aidaDir $HOME/AIDA/3.0.0 --aidaVers 3.0.0 --platform redhat73/gcc-3.2 

where <topdir> is the "top-level" directory where the s/w should be installed (something like "/opt/Anaphe" or "~/packages/lhcxx") and <vers> is the version of Anaphe you want. The script should be able to find out your platform, but in case he does'nt, you can specify it as in the example above.

If you want to also download the Qt package, please add the option --addQt

The directories <topdir>/specific/... and <topdir>/share/... will be created (if they don't yet exist), the packages are downloaded (except the ones which you already have) from CERN and installed. You need something like 80 MB free space in /tmp (or the directory you select with the --tmpDir option) for downloading, and about 180 MB for the installation.

Similar is <yourAIDADir> the directory where the AIDA files of version <yourAIDAVersion> will be installed (if the directory does not yet exist, otherwise it is taken as is).

To make life simpler, $HOME/bin/lizard will be created in your bin directory for quick access to Lizard; as well as $HOME/bin/aida-config for quick access to the aida-config script (these will work if you have $HOME/bin in your PATH).

Note: If you install Anaphe under a different account, you need to set up links in your ~/bin/ directory afterwards ...


Compiling Anaphe from Sources

Iso Images (CD) of the release available for Linux

You can download the ISO images for the latest Anaphe releases to burn your own CD containing all the Anaphe libraries for different Linux versions and compilers. After having burned the CD with the images, follow the instructions in the README file to install Anaphe from the CD. The following images are available for Linux :

  • Image for Anaphe Version 5.0.3



  • Standalone Qplotter

    After user requests, we have created a "standalone" version of the Qplotter sub-component (including Qplotter, VectorOfPoints, Annotation, ScatterPlot). The most recent version (for gcc on RedHat, Qt 3.x) can be downloaded in source form as tgz file (1.3 MB) or as zip file (1.7 MB). Instructions are contained in the Install file.
