Feb-01-2021


The manual for GLview Inova 10.3 is included 
within the applications itself. Launch the application and
select the Help menu option or simply press the F1 button.



General Installation
--------------------

To install, please perform the following steps:

1. Create a directory where you want the product to be installed
   if it is not already present. E.g. in /usr/local/Ceetron

   % mkdir /usr/local/Ceetron


2. Unpack the archive files in the directory mentioned above

   % tar xzfC GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64.tar.gz /usr/local/Ceetron

   If the archive is located elsewhere, please change
   accordingly in the tar command.


3. Make sure the executables are in your path.
   E.g. from a csh/tcsh prompt type

   % set path=(/usr/local/Ceetron/GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64/bin $path)

   or from a sh/bash/ksh prompt type

   % PATH="/usr/local/Ceetron/GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64/bin:$PATH"
   % export PATH

   You may want to include these settings in your local .login 
   or .profile script.


4. Configure dynamic linker run-time bindings by adding the 
   /usr/local/Ceetron/GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64/bin to /etc/ld.so.conf
   and type "ldconfig". Also make sure that any previous installed
   versions of GLview Inova are removed from /etc/ld.so.conf to 
   prevent older versions of the shared objects to be used. Note 
   that there also may be a conflict with other Abaqus shared object
   files in your system, if any.
   
   To add the shared object path from a sh/bash/ksh prompt type
   
   % if [ ! -n "$(grep "/usr/local/Ceetron/GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64/bin" /etc/ld.so.conf)" ]; then
   %    echo "/usr/local/Ceetron/GLvInova_10.3-1_x86_64/bin" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
   %    ldconfig
   % fi
   
   ldconfig should normally be run by the super-user as it may require
   write permission on some root owned directories and files. If you use
   -r option to change the root directory, you don't have to be super-user
   though as long as you have sufficient right to that directory tree.


5. To run GLview Inova, from a command prompt type

   % glviewinova
   
   Note! If SELinux is enabled on your system you may need to change the
   SELinux security context for some 3rd party shared library files
   if GLview Inova fails to launch because a shared library won't load.
   To get around this problem you may run the following command
   in the "bin" folder and retry:
   
   chcon -t textrel_shlib_t *.so*
   
   Also note that you may restore the security context for those files
   by running the following command:
   
   /sbin/restorecon *.so*


6. GLview Inova uses Ceetron License Files for license control. Please contact Ceetron AS if you do 
   not already possess a valid license key.
