SIESTA Application Installation Guide.

1. LINUX machine as a superuser and copy the downloaded SIESTA

software (current version comes in the file siesta-3.0-rc2.tgz) to the
directory/usr/local/lib. Then, for the simplest installation, proceed
as follows.

2. Issue the commands:

cd /usr/local/lib
chmod 775 .
ls
The file listing will show the file siesta-3.0-rc2.tgz

3. Next issue the commands:

tar -xzvf siesta-3.0-rc2.tgz
ls
The file listing will show a new directory called siesta-3.0-rc2

4. Next issue the commands:

cd siesta-3.0-rc2/Obj
sh ../Src/obj_setup.sh
cd ../Src
./configure
cp arch.make ../Obj
cd ../Obj
make
Now the programs will be compiled on your machine, which takes a
little time.

5. You can verify that you have obtained the executable image
called siesta in the current directory by issuing the command
ls siesta

6. Assuming that all users of your machine are licensed to use siesta,
you probably want to make the software available to all users upon
simply issuing the commandsiesta. To do this, issue the command
cp /usr/local/lib/siesta-3.0-rc2/Obj/siesta /usr/local/bin
rehash

7. Finally, you may want to clean up after yourself and restore access
permissions. To do this, issue the command
rm /usr/local/lib/siesta-3.0-rc2/Obj/*
chmod 755 /usr/local/lib
