~~NOTOC~~
====== Installation ======

===== Caveat =====

The ProRad software is provided "as is", and please keep [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth|Donald Knuth]]'s venerated saying in mind\\
**"Premature optimization is the root of all evil."**

===== Dependencies =====

ProRad requires at least the following libraries to be installed for compilation:

  * gcc, g++ (and gfortran)
  * libxml2 >= 2.7

  * qt4 
  * libssl >= 0.9.8
  * proj-4 >= 4.6.1
  * boot libraries (at least filesystem regex program_options)
  * log4cxx >= 10.0

  * libgd >= 2.0
  * libgdal >= 1.4.0
  * libtiff >= 4.2
  * libgeotiff >= 1.2.4

  * libhdf5 >= 1.8.7 (for ODIM H5 support)
  * OPERA BUFR (for WRWP to BUFR conversion)


===== Basic Installation =====

==== Caveat ====

The current release of the ProRad system comes without the bells and whistles
of GNU automake.  A build script is included in this version, but the
script will not warn you if libraries are missing.

==== Build and install ====


The build script is located in the folder "build-scripts".  You run
the script in the following way

  bash build-scripts/build-prorad.sh

and the script will build the ProRad modules in the correct order.

Each step in the build script will produce a file named "make.log".
If a step in the build procedure fails, you will be notified by the
build-script.  The script will tell you where it failed, and you will
find more information in the make.log file of that directory/folder.

After you have run the build script the ProRad modules will be
installed in the ./bin directory. 

===== Configuration =====


Please see the file named [[usage|Configuration]] for details on configuring and
running ProRad.
