Downloading

Username and password

In order to download the files of the ADF package, a username and password are required. If you are a current user but have forgotten your password, please contact us (admin@scm.com). In case you do not have a license for ADF yet, please visit the Pricing & Ordering part of our website.

Supported platforms

The ADF package is available, and has been tested, for the many different platforms. If your platform is not listed, please contact SCM and let us know about the hardware and operating system combination you would like to use. In that case you can use the ADF2000 version if your platform is supported for that version.

Platform-independent Resources

The ADF database (AtomicData), example runs (Examples) and source files are platform independent, so you have to download these only once. If you want to compile the package yourself you also need the source code.

Platform-dependent Files

You may install the ADF package as follows:

• To install the executables that we have already compiled for you: download the executables corresponding to your platform.

• To use the source codes and compile the package yourself: download the Install package. Note: to compile the source you need the appropriate compilers.
  

We support in principle 3 varieties:

1. The parallel version with PVM message passing
2. The parallel version with MPI message passing
3. The non-parallel or serial version

How to proceed after downloading

Follows a concise guide for installation. For more details consult the Installation manual.

Step 1: Set the environment variables for the ADF package.

# Environment variables with typical values (you may need different values) using C-shell syntax.
# Add these to your .cshrc

# These environment variables are always needed:

setenv ADFHOME $HOME/adfhome               # the master directory of the ADF package
setenv ADFBIN $ADFHOME/bin                 # the directory for run scripts and program binaries
setenv ADFRESOURCES $ADFHOME/atomicdata    # the location of the ADF database

setenv SCMLICENSE $ADFHOME/license         # the location of your SCM license file (when you get it)
setenv NSCM 16                             # the default number of parallel processes to use

# These environment variables are needed for PVM installations only:

setenv TEMPDIR /tmp                        # the scratch directory for parallel child processes
setenv SCMSPAWNSCRIPT  $ADFBIN/adfs        # the script to spawn the parallel child processes
setenv PVM_ARCH SGI6                       # the PVM architecture name
setenv PVM_ROOT /usr/local/bin/pvm3        # the master directory of your PVM installation

Step 2: Create the $ADFHOME directory and put all the downloaded files in it

# Make the adfhome directory, and move the downloaded files to it.

mkdir $ADFHOME
mv *.gz $ADFHOME

Step 3: Unpack the downloaded files

# move to the adfhome directory, and unpack the files

cd $ADFHOME
gunzip *.gz
foreach f (*.tar)
  tar -xf $f
end

Step 4: run configure

# run configure 

cd $ADFHOME
Install/configure

# answer the questions from the script ...

Step 5: If you have the source code: run make

# make (only when you have the sources)

cd $ADFHOME
make

Step 6: Generate license information

# generate license information

$ADFBIN/adf << EOR
EOR

and follow the instructions (send us the information just printed).

Step 7: Finally...

# cleaning up

cd $ADFHOME
rm *.tar
