Installing GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

[Thiago Veloso]

  Jason, I'd suggest you to follow these directions:
  1) Download and untar grads to a directory of your preference, for example /usr/local:> cd /usr/local> sudo tar -zxf grads-bin-x.xxxxxx.tar.gz (x "varies" according to GrADS version)
  2) Create a directory to hold "data.tar.Z":> cd /usr/local/grads-x.xxx> sudo mkdir data> cd data> sudo tar -zxf data.tar.Z
 3) Add the following lines to your "/etc/.bashrc" or "/etc/profile" if you want all users to access GrADS by typing "grads" on terminal:#--- GRADS ----export GADDIR=/usr/local/grads-x.xxx/dataexport GASCRP=/usr/local/grads-x.xxx/lib (this is optional, if you prefer to have a directory to run scripts from - create it just as described on Step 2)export GRADS=/usr/local/grads-x.xxx/binexport PATH=$PATH:$GRADS
  Adapt the commands to your system when necessary and it should work.
  Best regards,
  Thiago.

Can you help give me information on how to install GrADS on Ubuntu?  I tried doing it on my own but am encountering numerous problems.  Can anyone who had installed GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10 give me detailed instructions on how to go about doing this including setting environments, etc.


Thanks,

Jason
