CMDfit Software

If you are lucky, you will simply be able to download the software bundle from the link given below, and run the examples.

Download the software bundle (last updated 27 June 2009 - see the change and bug-fix list) for linux systems or Macs.

Download the software into your home directory, and unpack it with,
tar xzvf cmdfit.tar.gz
which will make a directory called CMDfit. Now, source the file in CMDfit called startup.csh, make yourself an empty directory and try running example 1. Once you've run the startup script, the programmes should run if you simply type their names at the prompt. If you run into problems with the examples, then my output from running them is available in a sub-directory of the download bundle.

If the software simply does not work, then you will have to recompile it. It's built using the g95 compiler, and although I have attempted to make the code as compiler independent as possible (it started life using the NAG compiler), it obviously best if you can use g95. What's more its free, and available from http://www.g95.org/. You build the software by running compile.csh, which is in the CMDfit directory. Individual programs can me remade from the Code directory, with a command like make -f monte.make".

If the compile fails, I'm happy to give what help I can.
