UltraScan III Installation:
The UltraScan is multi-platform and can be installed on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers. For Linux, several popular distributions are supported. Each operating system has operating system specific instructions:
- Microsoft Windows: Download the installation file and execute it on your computer. When prompted for an installation directory, please choose C:\Program Files\UltraScan, this is the expected path. If your international version of Windows has a different path, please create this subdirectory first before installation. On Windows 7, also install in C:\Program Files\UltraScan, not in C:\Program Files (x86)\UltraScan. You may have to run the program as Administrator.
- Mac OS-X: Download and Double-click the installation package. If you have not previously installed XQuartz, you will be requested to do so. XQuartz can be downloaded from https://www.xquartz.org.
- Linux, Unix/X11:
To install the tar.xz package for any distribution, please follow these steps:
After downloading the tar.xz package, you need to uncompress and extract it in a location of your choice, for example, /usr/lib or /usr/local or /usr/local/lib. For the purpose of this document, it is assumed you are going to install UltraScan in /usr/lib and /path is the path to your downloaded file.
cd /usr/lib tar Jxf /path/ultrascan-version.tar.xz
At this point, a new directory will be created (you can rename it without issue) Under that directory will be abinsubdirectory. In thebinsubdirectory are two scripts:us.sh us_somo.sh
You can run these to start the UltraScan GUI and the US-SOMO GUI respectively.
