Seismic Unix Installation in Ubuntu

Download the installation file from CWP website:  click here to download.

After downloading the file, extract the file, you will get a folder called "src"

Now, Make a Directory, where you want to install Seismic Unix...in my case, i am creating "cwp" directory in home directory:

mkdir cwp

Now move the "src" folder in "cwp" directory:  copy "src" and paste it in "cwp".

mv src /cwp/              if src is in your home directory

Go to src/cwp directory:

cd cwp/src

Then type the following command one by one in terminal: Make sure you are in "src" directory.

echo "export CWPROOT=~/cwp" >> ~/.bashrc

echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/cwp/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

make install 

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

sudo apt-get install libxt-dev

make xtinstall  

 Now Seismic Unix is installed in your system if you don't get any error up to now. To check it, run this:

suplane | suximage title="My first test" &
