You should set up your PATH to find the Evolver executable in /cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/bin. If you are running the bash shell (the ps command will tell you what you are running), then in ~/.bashrc, add a line
export PATH=/cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/bin:$PATHIf you are running tcsh or csh, add a line to ~/.cshrc
setenv PATH /cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/bin:$PATHYou should put my directory at the start of your PATH, else you may get an Evolver unrunnable on your machine.
Still in ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc, you should set up a new environment variable named EVOLVERPATH:
export EVOLVERPATH=/cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/fe:/cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/docor
setenv EVOLVERPATH /cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/fe:/cphys/visitor/brakke/workshop/docThese are directories where Evolver looks for files if it can't find them in the current directory.
You should set up a working directory on your machine for creating your own files and storing files you create with Evolver.
Test by opening a terminal window in your working directory, and run the command evolver quad. You should get a start-up message from Evolver, and a Enter command: prompt, but no graphics yet. To show graphics, use the s command. You should be able to move the surface around by dragging it with the mouse with the left button down. Back in the terminal window, enter q to quit the graphics prompt, q again to quit the surface, and q yet again to quit Evolver.
