The FPLO installation is composed of two steps:

• the creation fo the FPLO tree
• compilation, installation and setting of environment

First change into the directory in which you want to install FPLO:

cd <installdir>

then call the shell script ftreeinst.sh, which is distributed together with the source code of FPLO-9:

sh ./ftreeinst.sh

Now the FPLO file tree is created. Change into the directory where all installation related files are located:

cd FPLO/FPLO<version>/install

Because the name of the Fortran90 compiler and the appropriate flags are different from system to system you have to execute a shell script which asks you for the names of the F90- and C-compilers and creates Makefiles for the actual system.

sh ./MMakefile

Go into the main FPLO directory

cd ..

Compile and install the fplo binaries:

make clean && make && make install

Check that the binaries are installed properly:

ls ../bin

You should see fedit<version><platform>, fplo<version><platform>, bandplot<version><platform> and dirac<version><platform> and some shell scripts (grEE, grSS, ...). Now add the fplo path to you shell path:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/<installdir>/bin ; export PATH
