Get the software

First download SALOME-MECA-2008.1-GPL.tgz from the CAELinux website (it's about 700MB, it takes a while...)

Install

Then, as a normal user in a terminal (console), unpack the tarball:

tar -xvvf SALOME-MECA-2008.1-GPL.tgz

sudo mv SALOME-MECA-2008.1-GPL /opt/

cd /opt/SALOME-MECA-2008.1-GPL/postinstall/

sudo ./postinstall.py

The following is probably not crucial:

sudo chown -R root:root /opt/SALOME-MECA-2008.1

Everything should be OK now. If you get the following error:

"Failed to narrow the root naming context"

then check your /etc/hosts file. It will look something like this:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Where that second localhost should be your hostname for example:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost lintop
