4.6.1 Installation of UIO UNIX Scripts

Recently, the installation procedure for the UIO scripts has been updated to make use of its own configure script. Therefore, the procedure should now look like

tar -zxvf for.tar.gz
cd for/uio/f90/YOUR_MACHINE
./configure
make
make install

or

tar -zxvf for.tar.gz
cd for/uio/f90
mkdir YOUR_MACHINE
cd YOUR_MACHINE
ln -s ../conf/configure .
./configure
make
make install

Some of the environment variables that control the CO5BOLD configure script are also recognized (see the header of the UIO configure script). The command

make install

generates a directory ${HOME}/local and sub-directories. An init script is put into ${HOME}/bin. And the resource files .cshrc and .bashrc are modified to call it. Therefore, this installation step is potentially dangerous, because its effect is not restricted to the local directory!
