Windows

A personal memorandum when I setup my laptop (Windows 11) in October 2022.

• To setup H08 environment

  • To connect remote Linux servers

    • Install PuTTY

    • Install VcXsrv

      • Initially, an error message "plink unknown option -ssh" appeared. It seems plink.exe doesn't work properly. Overwrite C:\Program Files\VcXsrv\plink.exe with C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe

  • To setup local Linux environment

    • Install WSL (https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/windows/wsl/install )

      • Only root account is created. Create my own account.

    • Install fundamental software for H08
      % apt update
      % apt install emacs
      % apt install gfortran
      % apt install imagemagick
      % apt install gmt

    • Tips

      • imagemagick

        • [Problem] With the default setting, the conversion from eps to png does't work

        • [Solution] Following this information, comment out "<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="{PS}" />" in /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml.

      • GMT (General Mapping Tools)

        • [Problem] With the default setting, the coastline does not appear.

        • [Solution] Following this information, just install coastline data.
          % apt install gmt-gshhg-high gmt-gshhg-low

      • X11

        • Following this information, set up your display for X11.

    • Install optional software for H08

      • netcdf fortran library

      • 1) Install libnetcdff-dev
        % su
        % apt install libnetcdf-dev

      • 2) Edit ${DIRH08}/adm/Mkinclude
        % INC = -I/usr/include
        % LIB = -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -lnetcdff
        (NB: not “-lnetcdf” but “-lnetcdff”)

      • 3) Compile ${DIRH08}/bin
        % cd ${DIRH08}/bin
        % make all

• Others

  • R

    • Install R (install "C:\Users\xxxx" to avoid unnecessary troubles)

    • Install R Studio (install "C:\Users\xxxx" to avoid unnecessary troubles)

    • Set user environmental variable "R_USER" as "C:\Users\xxxx" (consult google how to do this)
