The following sections constitute the installation guide for the 32-bit Linux command line version of CeX3D Inverse. This guide covers both CeX3D Inverse NCU and CeX3D Inverse Pro.

Requirements for Linux 32-Bit

CeX3D Inverse for 32-bit Linux requires the following libraries:

The installation section explains how they are commonly installed.

Installation for Linux 32-Bit

To install CeX3D Inverse for 32-bit Linux, do the following:

  1. Install the necessary libraries: GMP (version 3), SDL (version 1.2), SDL_image (version 1.2) and the image libraries that SDL_image depend on. On a Ubuntu Linux system, this corresponds to the packages 'libgmp3-dev', 'libsdl1.2-dev' and 'libsdl-image1.2-dev' (and its dependencies). Normally, they can be installed by executing the following command in a shell:

    apt-get install libgmp3-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev

    This command requires that you have administrator rights. You can add the command sudo in front, to get these rights (password required), i.e.:

    sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev

  2. Download CeX3D Inverse (which is actually its installer) if you have not already done so
  3. Execute the installer in a shell from the directory where it was downloaded: On Linux you first need to set the downloaded installer's permissions to executable before you can run it, e.g. by this command:

    chmod 777 ./installcex3dinverse_full_ncu_alpha_0_7_1_0_x86linux32bit

    Now run it:

    ./installcex3dinverse_full_ncu_alpha_0_7_1_0_x86linux32bit

    The installer requires that you have administrator rights. You can add the command sudo in front to get these rights (password required), i.e.:

    sudo ./installcex3dinverse_full_ncu_alpha_0_7_1_0_x86linux32bit

  4. Follow the installation instructions, which includes accepting the End-User License Agreement and specifying where the program should be installed. You specify the root installation path, which is /usr/local/ by default, which automatically specifies the paths for the binary executables and for the static read-only data files. We recommend that you install it such that the binary directory is in a place that your PATH environment variable points to (the directory /usr/local/bin/ normally is), since otherwise you will need to prefix the cex3dinversegui and the c3di commands with where they are installed every time you run them
  5. If you do not wish to or do not have administrator rights to install CeX3D Inverse system-wide under e.g. /usr/local/, it is possible to install it for a single user in that user's home directory, e.g. under /home/myuser/CeX3DInverse/ for the user myuser. If you are installing anywhere else than under /usr/local/ or a user's home directory, make sure that you know what you are doing
  6. If you have installed CeX3D Inverse in a place that the PATH environment variable does not point to, you can normally edit your PATH environment variable, typically in the hidden file .profile in your user home directory, but this depends on your Linux system. Refer to your Linux system documentation if in doubt

In case you are trying to run the 32-bit version of CeX3D Inverse on a 64-bit Linux system, you would also need to install the following:
