Geomorph 0.40, February 2007
----------------------------------

Installing Geomorph from the source package
--------------------------------------------------

1. Open a console and untar the archive:

tar zxf geomorph-0.40.tgz

2. Change to the Geomorph directory:

cd geomorph-0.40

3. Build the software:

./configure
make

4. Logon as "root":

su

5. Install the executable:

make install

6. Leave the root account:

exit

7. Install you as a user:

./install-user

This script creates a /home/.../geomorph directory, a configuration file in this directory and installs shortcuts on the Gnome and KDE desktops.

If you upgrade from 0.2x to 0.3x or 0.4x, you should also update the geomorphrc file:
./update-rc

If you are experimented and want to choose yourself were to create the required structures, you can check the script, create the required directory and files manually, then create a compliant Geomorph configuration file.

8. "make uninstall" as root would uninstall Geomorph.  However, the users won't be uninstalled.


Installing Geomorph from the binary package
--------------------------------------------------

1. Open a console and untar the archive:

tar zxf geomorph-0.40-bin.tgz

2. Change to the Geomorph directory:

cd geomorph-0.40

3. Log on as "root":

su

4. Install the program:

./install-bin

5. Leave the root account:

exit

6. Install you as a user:

./install-user

See the comments for step 7 of the source install process.

7. "./uninstall" as root in the same directory would uninstall Geomorph, but without removing any of the users' directories and configuration files.


Installing the docs
-------------------

The documentation of version 0.30 and later is available separately, in an achive whose name is geomorph-doc-AAAA-MM.tgz.

1. Open a console and untar the archive:

tar zxf geomorph-doc-AAAA-MM.tgz 

2. Change to the Geomorph documentation directory: 

cd geomorph-doc

3. Log on as "root":
 
 su
 
4. Execute the install script:

./install-doc

5. Leave the root account:

exit

The install script copies the files in /usr/local/share/geomorph/doc and tries to modify the "doc_dir" variable in the configuration file "geomorphrc" (if the script can find this file!).

If an older version of the documentation exists in /usr/local/share/geomorph/doc, it is overwritten. The script won't overwrite the installed documentation with an older one. This directory contains a file named "VERSION" with the date of the version, and the script creates here a "stamp" file with the installation date.
