Installing TiberCAD
1 Installation instructions
These instructions assume version 1.2.2 or higher of TiberCAD.
In the following, VERSION denotes the version number of the TiberCAD release you downloaded and INSTALLPATH denotes the directory where TiberCAD gets installed.
Version 2.3.0 of GMSH (http://www.geuz.org/gmsh) will be installed together with TIBERCAD. For the Linux version of GMSH you need OpenGL libraries installed on your system.
1.1 Prerequisites
Get the installer package for your OS/architecture from www.tibercad.org or by contacting support@tibercad.org .
To run TiberCAD you will also need a license file that you will have to copy into the installation directory of TiberCAD.
In the Windows version, some graphical features such as graphical convergence monitors are only available if an X Window server is installed and running.
1.2 Windows
To install TiberCAD in Windows, run the setup program tibercad_setup.exe.
During the installation you can choose the installation directory. After finishing installation, copy your license file (tibercad.lic) into the license subdirectory in the TiberCAD installation directory (INSTALLPATH/license), without changing its filename.
You should now be ready to run your first TiberCAD example. See Quick Start.
1.3 Linux
To install TIBERCAD in Linux, download and run the self-extracting installer tibercad-VERSION_installer.bin and follow the installation instructions. You can install TiberCAD with or without root privileges.
After installation, copy your license file (tibercad.lic) into the license subdirectory of the TiberCAD installation directory (INSTALLPATH/license) without changing the filename. You can also provide the license file during installation.
You should now be ready to run your first TiberCAD example. See Quick Start.
NOTE:
The standard method to launch TiberCAD is by means of a shell script that is installed alongside the TiberCAD executable. It takes care of setting all necessary environment variables. If for some reason you have to run the executable directly, remember to set TIBERCADROOT to the TiberCAD installation directory (INSTALLPATH).
