Installation process.

This suite was developed in Phyton 3, with extensive use of its libraries. It might run under any operating system with Python interpreter and due libraries installed.

This installation process was developed for Linux systems, using a bash script named installXS.sh. It checks whether the necessary Python 3 libraries are installed, confirms the installation target directory (usually, /usr/local/lib) and creates links for the executables in /usr/local/bin, so the scritps may be run from any directory.

Currently there is still no installation script for Windows, but the suite might work if all needed Python 3 libraries are available in your system. You can download the scripts and place them in a suitable directory. The absent libraries must be checked and installed manually.

The installation script was not tested in a MAC-OS as well. If you can do it, please give us some feedback.

To proceed with installation, follow these steps.

1. Download the XS-treatment suite, if not done yet:

git clone https://gitlab.uspdigital.usp.br/gfcx/XS-treatment.git

2. Run

cd XS-treatment ./installXS.sh

And follow the instructions. By default, the files will be installed in /usr/local/lib; other installation directory can be chosen along the installation process. Links to executables will be created in /usr/local/bin

3. Run

XS-help

if you need some general guidance for the use of the scripts.

All XS_treatment scripts begin with the XS_ prefix, so to check what is available, just type XS_ and the TAB key so the shell shows the alternatives.

To uninstall the suite

Run

./installXS.sh -u
