Installing your own software

If you are installing your own software, check that "no one else has it installed. If you are installing some software which you believe may be useful to someone else consider placing it in the shared software installs location.

When you are installing software you may only install it into your homedirectory, in scratch space or the shared location mentioned above. If it must be installed in a location you cannot write to eg /usr/local/bin then email help, explaining what the software does, why you need it and where we can download the source code or binary. Please do not email the binary to us, because a large attachment sent to many people is bad for the mail spool.

Again if there is software you would like to see installed for you, email help@damtp with the information mentioned above. You may find you have to wait a while before we have time to install it - especially if it is not mathematically related.
