2.2 Download the software

If you have not already done so, you need to download the software from the Download section of the SCM web site. You will be asked for a username and password that you should have received from SCM. Contact admin@scm.com if you forgot your username and/or password.

You need to download the binary tarball for your platform in all cases, also if you want to compile ADF from sources. For example, for 32-bit Linux with HP-MPI the file is called adf2008.01.pc_linux.hpmpi.bin.tgz. If you have a source code license and want to compile the source code yourself you also need to download adf2008.01.src.tgz.

• Download the adf2008.01.bin.tgz and, if applicable, adf2008.01.src.tgz for your platform (from www.scm.com).

Important: skip the step below if you have a source license and are going compile ADF yourself and move on to the next section.

If you want to install the precompiled executables only then gunzip and untar the downloaded files:

gunzip adf2008.01.bin.tgz
tar -xf adf2008.01.bin.tar

A new directory adf2008.01 will be created containing your new adf installation.
