Download the package adapted to your architecture (32 or 64 bits):

>>>> wget http://mem.ibs.fr/CODES/VEDA_32_gfortran.tgz
or 
>>>> wget http://mem.ibs.fr/CODES/VEDA_64_gfortran.tgz

>>>> tar zxvf VEDA_??_gfortran.tgz

This will create the directory VEDA and put within it subdirectories and
two files: "VEDA_INSTALL" (like the one you are now reading) and "login".
============================================================
============================================================
To use VEDA you NEED the environment variables defined in "login". Only the
variable VEDA (whole-path to directory VEDA) must be customized.
You may need the compiler used to create the binaries, specified by the
variable VEDA_COMPILE (compiler with options) and gnuplot, usually installed
during the Ubuntu installation.

PACKAGES MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE ORDER PRESENTED BELOW.

>>>> apti tk8.5

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   tcl8.5 tk8.5

------------------------------------------------------------
Usually, python is installed during the Ubuntu installation.
In any case,

>>>> apti python

-> python is already the newest version available.

To know the version, type

>>>> python

-> Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
-> [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2

(to quit, Ctl D).

------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> apti python-tk

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   blt python-tk

------------------------------------------------------------
The python package installed by Ubuntu was not compiled with tk8.5. You need
to install the pyttk patch in order to access to the new features of tk8.5 .
So, download

>>>> wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyttk/pyttk-0.3.2.tar.gz

and install it:

>>>> tar xvzf pyttk-0.3.2.tar.gz
>>>> cd pyttk-0.3.2/
>>>> sudo python setup.py install

------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> apti python-numpy

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   libblas3gf liblapack3gf python-numpy

------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> apti python-vtk

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   libavcodec52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libgfortran3 libgl2ps0 libgsm1
->   libibverbs1 libmysqlclient16 libnuma1 libopenmpi1.3 libschroedinger-1.0-0
->   libswscale0 libvtk5.2 mysql-common python-vtk

------------------------------------------------------------
If you start VEDA, you get:

-> Warning : Ipython not installed.
->  VEDA will run anyway, but you will not get access to debug model.
-> Warning : Python-Opengl not installed.
->  VEDA will run anyway, but you will not get depth effect.

but it will run anyway. To use the "fog" you have to install python-opengl;
to use an embedded python shell and manipulate VEDA in command line (for
advanced users only) you have to install ipython:

------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> apti python-opengl

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   freeglut3 python-opengl

------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> apti ipython

-> the following packages will be installed:
->   global ipython libwxbase2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-0 python-foolscap python-wxgtk2.8
->   python-wxversion

You MUST start ipython once after installation:

>>>> ipython

(to quit, Ctl D).
