# Instructions to install the DCT code
#
# Prerequisites:
# - python (version >= 2.6)  www.python.org
# - git    (version >= 1.6)  www.git-scm.com
# - g++    (version >= 4.4)  www.gcc.gnu.org
# - matlab (version >= 2012) www.mathworks.com
# - astra  (version >= 1.0)  www.code.google.com/p/astra-toolbox
# - cuda   (version >= 4.0)  www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home_new.html

 1. Download the DCT install bundle from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dct/

 2. Extract the zip in a temporary directory (here it is /tmp)

user1@host1 ~/Downloads $ ls
dct-install.zip
user@host1 ~/Downloads $ unzip dct-install.zip -d /tmp
Archive:  dct-install.zip
 extracting: dct-install/dct_compile_matlab_functions.py
 extracting: dct-install/dct_compile_mex_functions.py
 extracting: dct-install/dct_io_xml.py
 extracting: dct-install/dct_utils_git.py
 extracting: dct-install/dct_utils_platform.py
 extracting: dct-install/dct_setup.py
user1@host1 ~/Downloads $ cd /tmp/dct-install
user1@host1 /tmp/dct-install $ ls
dct_compile_matlab_functions.py  dct_setup.py
dct_compile_mex_functions.py     dct_utils_git.py
dct_io_xml.py                    dct_utils_platform.py
dct_matlab_invocation.py

 3. Then, run the python script to print help to install the code
    (need python >= 2.6)

user1@host1 /tmp/dct-install $ python dct_setup.py -h
Installs DCT for both users and developers
 Options:
  -h | --help : to show this help
  -v | --verbose : to show more detailed output
  -b <branch_name> : to select a specific branch from the listed here:
     master
     stable_1.0
  -d <dir_name> : to specify directory name, where dct will be
  -u <user_name> : selects developer mode and specifies the developer sf_username
  -m <matlab_version> : selects the matlab version to be used
  -mp <matlab_dir> : selects the path to matlab 

 4. Now you can run the installation with your personal settings. As a user, 
    you don't need to specify a user name (only for developers). So to install 
    the master version in ~/dct directory, let's run, for instance at ESRF:

 user1@host1 /tmp/dct-install $ python dct_setup.py -b master -d ~/dct -m 2013a -mp /sware/com/matlab_2013a

 5. Using the dct_launch.py script with the proper argument, you can:
- run matlab with the DCT code    [ matlab ] (works also with no arguments)
- update the code                 [ update ]
- update the configuration        [ update_conf ]
- recompile the mex functions     [ compile_mex ] (sub-options, see --help)
- recompile the matlab functions  [ compile_matlab ] (sub-options, see --help)
- list all options                [ -h | --help ] 

$ python /users/user1/dct/dct_launch.py

 6. Have fun with DCT!

 7. Update regularly the code with "update" command and the configuration with
    "update_conf" command.

 8. Submit bug reports to https://sourceforge.net/p/dct/tickets
