Swarm local software
This page describes software produced at UM
for use with or using the
Swarm
agent-based modeling package.
Note: The first, UM-ExpTools, is a package that is used by (most of) the
other applications.
To install it, just
- Go to
this page
and find the latest dated file that has
a name like UM-ExpTools-020510-Dist.tar.gz , where the 020510
is 2002 May 10 .
- download that file into a directory in which you
want the UM-ExpTools directory to be created.
- unzip/untar the distribution file you downloaded.
it will create a dated directory. For example:
tar zxvf UM-ExpTools-020510-Dist.tar.gz
will unpack into a directory named UM-ExpTools-020510-Dist .
- cd into that directory.
- edit the Makefile and point SWARMHOME appropriately.
- make lib
- if there were no errors, make test, which should
make a little test program which you can run with: ./testpars
For the other demo's listed below, again download the distribution files,
unzip/untar them, and edit the Makefile to point SWARMHOME
and the the EXPTOOLSPATH variables to the appropriate locations.
The software:
UM-ExpTools-4 library.
