SoOSiM Installation Guide

In this guide we will install SoOSiM in a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04, but the guide should work for any other Unix-like OS (just adapting the commands to the running OS).

Command line version

First we need to install the ghc, cabal-install and git.

apt-get install ghc cabal-install git

Second we retreive the code from the repository:

git clone git://github.com/christiaanb/SoOSiM.git
git clone git://github.com/christiaanb/SoOSiM-components.git
git clone git://github.com/christiaanb/SoOSiM-cli.git

Third we compile and install the code:

cd SoOSiM; cabal install; cd ..
cd SoOSiM-components; cabal install; cd ..
cd SoOSiM-cli; cabal install; cd ..

The executable will be installed in $HOME/.cabal/bin, so it can be executed by:

$HOME/.cabal/bin/SoOSiM-cli

You can add the executable to your $PATH (or copy it to another directory in the $PATH) to execute it easier.

GUI version

This guide installs SoOSim GUI version and installs the executable in /opt/soosim directory:

Install dependencies:

apt-get install ghc cabal-install libz-dev git libftgl-dev libglade2-dev

            alex happy libgtkglext1-dev

Set-up the environment:

export HOME=/root
export PATH=/root/.cabal/bin:/opt/soosim/cabal-dev/bin:$PATH
cabal update
cabal install cabal-dev

Create the installation directory and retrieve the source code:

mkdir /opt/soosim

cd /opt/soosim

wget https://raw.github.com/ivanperez-keera/SoOSiM-ui/master/install-with-deps.sh

chmod a+x install-with-deps.sh

Finally, compile the code:

./install-with-deps.sh
