Installation instructions: Ubuntu

The following steps set everything up in Ubuntu (tested with Ubuntu 14.04 “Trusty Tahr”, 15.04 “Vivid Vervet”, and 16.04 “Xenial Xerus”):

• If you have not already done so, go to “System Settings” → “Software and Update” and active the item “Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)”.

• Open a terminal and enter the following commands:

  $ sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib python-wxtools \
      python-opengl python-pip graphviz libboost-all-dev
  $ pip install fastcluster --user
  $ pip install mapper --user
  $ pip install cmappertools --user
  

• Optional: Add the directory $HOME/.local/bin to the search path so that the Mapper GUI can be started more conventiently.

  To do so, open the file .bashrc in your home directory, eg. by

  $ gedit ~/.bashrc
  

  and insert the following lines at the end:

  # set PATH so that it includes user's private bin if it exists
  if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
      PATH="${PATH+$PATH:}$HOME/.local/bin"
  fi
  

  Now save the file and type

  $ source ~/.bashrc
  

  in the terminal window to read the modified file in.

• Try Mapper out:

  $ MapperGUI.py
