Installation

OOD desktop -> start a terminal

Get the lcm-64.tar file from http://s-provencher.com/pub/LCModel/programs/lcm-64.tar.

~$ wget http://s-provencher.com/pub/LCModel/programs/lcm-64.tar

Unpack lcm-64.tar

~$ tar xvf lcm-64.tar

Load evince pdf viewer

~$ ml ubuntu

Run the installer ~$ ./install-lcmodel

At this point you have ~/.lcmodel/bin/lcmodel and ~/.lcmodel/lcmgui.

Create symlinks to those executables in your ~/bin directory for convenience. Now, they are both in your $PATH and can be called on the command-line interactively or from job scripts.
