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.
The binary download file, which must be downloaded in all cases, contains all binaries (ADF, BAND, COSMO-RS, ADF-GUI, and BAND-GUI modules, GENNBO, property programs, utility programs), documented examples for ADF and BAND, the basis sets and force field files. In some cases (HP-MPI/Platform MPI and OpenMPI) the binary file also contains the corresponding MPI run-time environment. Your license file will determine which of these you can actually use. You need to download the binary tarball for your platform also if you want to compile ADF from sources. The source code itself needs to be downloaded separately if it is included in your license (not the default).
Important: skip the step below if you have a source code 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 adf2009.01.bin.tgz tar -xf adf2009.01.bin.tar
A new directory adf2009.01 will be created containing your new adf installation.
