Installation on Ubuntu & Debian Linux

It is quite convenient to install Hom4PS-3 on Ubuntu or Debian Linux with graphical interfaces such as Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptics.

Alternatively, one can also use command lines: After downloading the DEB package, you should first install it via the command

sudo dpkg -i hom4ps-X.X.X-linux.deb

Of course, make sure the X's are replaced by the actual version number. Next, resolve the dependencies via the command

sudo apt-get -f install

Finally, configure the package again with the command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Now Hom4PS-3 is ready for use. With the following command, you can check the version number. Hom4PS-3 is still an experimental project that is under active development, so make sure you are using the latest version of the package.

hom4ps-core --version

As an optional step, you can ask Hom4PS-3 to solve an extremely simple system:

hom4ps-easy /usr/share/doc/hom4ps/testcases/simple.sym

to make sure that it is working correctly.
