MTT install related

https://sourceforge.net/p/mtt/discussion/35888/thread/0685148a/

Can anyone help me with some instructions about how to Install MTT in a sun Machine? I have succesfully installed Octave (following a good set of instructions.., I am kind of novice in Unix..) but I have not been able to install MTT because there is not help file.

My second question: Is it absolutely necesary for MTT to work the software Reduce? Are there any options that would work without Reduce? (As it is not free,..).

  If you have managed to install Octave, you shouldn't have any difficulty installing MTT. Copy MTT (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mtt/mtt-4.8.tar.gz) to a directory on your machine (preferably /usr/local) and unpack it with the commands:

  $ gzip -d mtt-4.8.tar.gz
  $ tar -xf mtt-4.8.tar

  You will find the documentation for MTT in the directory mtt-doc.

  To use MTT, edit the file mtt/mttrc to make MTT_BASE point to the place you have installed MTT:
  export MTT_BASE=/usr/local

  To tell your shell where to find MTT:
  $ . /usr/local/mtt/mttrc

  Alternatively, if you are using csh instead of the Bourne shell:
  % /usr/local/mtt/sh2csh /usr/local/mttrc
  % source /usr/local/mtt/mttrc.csh

  MTT should then hopefully run okay (let me know if it doesn't).

  Regarding your second question, MTT uses Reduce extensively so you really should have it installed. However, I did write a program a while ago which allowed the creation of a standalone C++ simulation from a bondgraph model built with MTT without using Reduce. If this is all you need to do, let me know and I will try to find the program (unfortunately I don't have access to it from this machine).

  Dear Geraint

  Thanks a lot for your help, I have managed to make MTT run!!, however this machine (It's not mine and I got it just part time,..) has the files in a big mess and it seems that what I have to do (apart from installing Reduce) is setting up the paths correctly pointing in the right directions, because for example the MTT seems to work but when I try to invoke XMTT simply it cannot find the necessary files.

  I will have a go and see what happens. Thanks again for your help.

  Ps. It took me a while to get hold of the machine again.
