Dynamo is distributes as a .tar package. After download, choose a location in your file system, which we will call DYNAMO_ROOT in this page.
A general guide for installation can be found in the text file README.txt in the DYNAMO_ROOT folder
Contents
Supported platforms
Linux
The distributed tar package should work out of the box, and be able to be run inside Matlab or as standalone executable.
Mac
The distributed tar package can be used under Matlab. We don't provide standalone versions for Mac.
Windows
Currently we do not offer support for windows.
Activating Dynamo in Matlab
After starting Matlab, type
run <DYNAMO_ROOT>/dynamo_activate.m
Dynamo is now activated and the Matlab shell will recognize any Dynamo command. You can type for instance
dynamo;
to see the first menu of options.
On a Mac
Dynamo will try to recompile part of its code in your Mac. This means that you need to have XCode installed (currently not a default setting in Apple computers!).
Activating Dynamo as standalone program
In a system shell execute:
source <DYNAMO_ROOT>/dynamo_activate_linux_with_shippedMRC.sh
This shell is activated and can then be used to run alignment projects or to initiate an interactive session using the Dynamo console. For this, you can just type
dynamo x
on a shell and be patient: the first time a shell initiates a Dynamo process, it can takes several minutes. New invocations to the MCR libraries will be much faster, and commands inside the opened Dynamo session will run immediately.
Technical information
Dynamo is distributed with a version of the free Matlab MCR libraries, that's why the package is 2Gb... If you detect strange graphical behaviour on your system, you might want to use your own installation of the MCR. In such cases, you can activate Dynamo with
source <DYNAMO_ROOT>/dynamo_activate_linux.sh
