CEAgui Download for Unix (Sun, Sgi, Linux, and Mac OS X )

NASA's CEAgui is a Java GUI Application for NASA's CEA Fortran program. CEAgui creates or modifies your input file (e.g. xxx.inp) and runs a previously complied Fortran executable named FCEA2. FCEA2 generates an output file (e.g. xxx.out)on your local machine. The requirements for running this Java Application on your local machine are:

• CEAgui JAR file which consists of Java classes, examples, and supporting HTML files.
• CEA+ Fortran Package which consists of cea2.f, cea.inc, thermo.inp, trans.inp, cea2.inp, b1b2b3.f, syntax.f.
• CEAexec Package which consists of the rest of the supporting files for selected Unix platforms (Sun Solaris, Sgi Irix, Linux, and Mac OS X).
• If you have not installed the Java2 SDK on your local machine, you must install the Java2 Runtime Environment ( JRE ). JRE is included in the Java2 SDK. It can be freely downloaded (download) for Sun, Sgi, and Linux from Sun Microsystems Inc. The other platforms can be downloaded from Java-Ports site .

Downloading the files via FTP or HTTP

* It includes CEA related Packages - CAP, PAC, and MISC.

The CEAgui Download Installation Procedures for Unix(sun or sgi or linux or mac OS X):

1. Create the installation directory on your local machine (e.g. mkdir CEAexec)
2. Download all ZIP files and the JRE executable file and save into the installation directory ( e.g. cd CEAexec )
3. Extract files from the CEAgui JAR file (CEAgui-jar.tar.Z).
   
   zcat CEAgui-jar.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
4. Extract files from the Fortran Package (CEA+Fortran.tar.Z).
   
   zcat CEA+Fortran.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
5. Select one of the following platforms:
• For Sun, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-sun.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-sun.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Sgi, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-sgi.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-sgi.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Linux, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-linux.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-linux.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Mac OS X, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-mac.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-mac.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
6. Check that you must have the SIX files ( CEAgui.jar, thermo.lib, trans.lib, syntax, b1b2b3, FCEA2 ) in the installation directory. The file permissions of the executable files ( syntax, b1b2b3, FCEA2 ) must be set to executable, and update UNIX environment variables ( CLASSPATH, PATH ), then execute the shell script runCEA.sh
7. Very important! Update your PATH variable to include your installation directory.
   setenv    PATH    ${PATH}:.
