How to install MCNPX?

1. Executables and data

The code is available here.
Ask xxx to get the login/password.

Then download and uncompress Win32.zip or Linux.tar.gz according to your system.

Data can be downloaded from the website or from one of the xxx* servers (xxx/mtrocme/public/mcnpx/data/) on which extra data are provided.

2. Environment variables

The following environment variables should be set

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
export PATH=$PATH:myPath/myMCNPXdirectory/myMCNPXrelease/bin
export DATAPATH=myPath/myMCNPXdirectory/data/
# export DATAPATH="Z:\myPath\myMCNPXdirectory\data\"  # under cygwin !
export DISPLAY=":0"
# Watch out, this last export can cause problem with ssh -X|Y. It may be commented if no geometry visualization (>mcnpx i=myFile.mcn ixz) is needed. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Releases installed

mcnpx_2.6f and mcnpx_2.7a are already installed on xxx. To use one of these releases, add the following lines to your .shellrc file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Executable
export PATH=$PATH:xxx/mtrocme/private/tmp/z_softs/mcnpx/mcnpx_2.6f/linuxi/bin/
# !!! Actually, it won't work because of permissions. The best thing to do is to create a mcnpx directory
in your private directory and contact me in order that I create a link to the executables
# Public data
export DATAPATH=xxx/mtrocme/public/mcnpx/data/
# Extra libraries
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/matlab/sys/os/glnxa64/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
