SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges faced while installing TALYS, a nuclear reaction simulator, on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Users report persistent issues with the installation process, specifically related to modifying Fortran code to direct the pathway to the nuclear structures folder. Despite following the provided instructions and attempting both the setup script and manual installation, the test cases fail to run. It is recommended that users ensure compatibility with the platform and verify the correct installation order of required software.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Fortran programming and file path configurations
  • Basic understanding of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS operating system
  • Knowledge of software installation processes, particularly for scientific applications
  • Experience with command-line interfaces, specifically bash and tcsh
NEXT STEPS
  • Review TALYS installation documentation at TALYS User Documentation
  • Learn about configuring Fortran file paths for software installations
  • Research compatibility issues between TALYS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Explore community forums for troubleshooting tips specific to TALYS installation
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for nuclear physicists, software developers, and researchers involved in nuclear reaction simulations, particularly those using TALYS on Ubuntu systems.

I've been struggling for the past day to install TALYS (talys.eu) (http://www.talys.eu/fileadmin/talys/user/docs/talys1.8.pdf), a nuclear reaction simulator.

Despite attempting their instructions over a dozen times now (both through their setup script and the manual option), each time on a fresh install, the test cases you are supposed to verify never run and always ask me to fix a pathway in the fortran code to direct machines.f to the nuclear structures folder (which I have tried and have gotten nowhere).

I was wondering if anyone else had actually successfully run this software and could let me know how they did it. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04LTS right now.

Thanks for any and all assistance.

Make sure the platform is compatible. Obviously people have downloaded the system and installed it.

I haven't used it, but I have used complicated software that required bash vs tcsh, and there was a particular order in which software and utilities had to be installed. Is the compiler correct?

Maybe contact the developers regarding use of Ubuntu.
