Fast installation for Linux machines


Get this installer carma.v.2.3.run (3.2 MBytes), and then from the unix shell :

chmod 755 carma.v.2.3.run
./carma.v.2.3.run

... and it should install everything in /usr/local/. You may need root privileges for the last command to work (use "sudo ./carma.v.2.3.run").

For some of grcarma's additional features to work properly, you need to install the tcsh shell, and weblogo (using something like: sudo apt install tcsh ; pip3 install weblogo).


Traditional download and install


Get the compressed archive carma-v.2.3.tar.gz (26 MBytes). Contains source code, documentation, and stand-alone executable images (for carma, grcarma and cluster5D) suitable for Linux (32 and 64bit), MacOSX and Windows (32 and 64bit).

On a Unix machine, do :

tar zxvf carma-v.2.3.tar.gz
cd carma-v.2.3/
cat README.md

Windows users will have to start their 7Zip-like program and follow the instructions for unpacking the distribution. Once you unpacked the archive, go to the carma folder and follow the instructions in the README.md file to locate and run the automated windows installer.
