You may choose here binary executable (Dynamically or Statically built) files for supported computer platforms. In Dynamic version the libraries are loaded into executable at the runtime, while in Static version some of the compiler-dependent libraries are bound into executable before execution. The Dynamic version is usually smaller and easier to maintain than Static version, which we provide in case some of the dynamic libraries are not installed on user's computer. The size of the executable files is 1~5 Mb, depending on the system. Please see this FAQ about installation procedure.

Mac OS X users may typically start the Toolkit by double-clicking it in the Finder.

Please consult Toolkit Users Guide Demonstration Section for guidance and Frequently Asked Questions if you encounter problems. If that did not help, you may contact us at ssahelp@atmos.ucla.edu.


Plotting Software

Toolkit users are encouraged to use Grace, which is a default choice of a plotting software, and can be compiled from the source code provided, or:

for Linux it is an optional install included with the OS, and can be installed by using apt-get install or similar.

for Mac OS X download prebuilt Grace here, move it to Applications, and add it the path accordingly, e.g for tcsh shell the following line has to be added to .tcshc file (may have to be created) in you home directory:

set path= ("/Applications/Grace.app/Contents/Resources/grace/bin/" $path)

Mac OS X users may also have to change the default login shell (bash) to tcsh shell:

Tiger (Mac OS 10.4): Use the application utility Netinfo Manager. Under the “users” category in Netinfo Manager, look for the desired login name and find the “shell” item in the list of properties for that account. This should say /bin/bash by default; modify it to the desired shell (e.g., /bin/tcsh). This will require first unlocking the properties by clicking on the lock icon and entering an administrator-level password. Quit Netinfo Manager, then log out of the user account and log back in to globally initialize the new default shell.

Leopard (Mac OS 10.5): Open the Accounts preferences in System Preferences. Unlock the preferences by clicking on the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preferences panel and entering an administrator-level password. Then right-click (or control-click) on a user name and select the Advanced Options menu. Select the desired login shell from the pull-down menu, and click on OK. Log out and back in to put the change into effect.
