to run xsq-tools you will need GNU libc version 2.5+ !!
2. Get Official xsq-tools software package distribution from LifeTech/ABI
3. Open your favorite Linux console command and untar/unzip xsq-tools package.
4. If you want to convert your xsq solid 5500 output files you will need to use the convertFromXSQ.sh shell script.
5. Backup the official convertFromXSQ.sh shell script.
6. Download unofficial convertFromXSQ.sh shell script and save in your official xsq-tools directory,
7. Download script from here
8. Rename script convertFromXSQ.sh1.txt to convertFromXSQ.sh
9. Set execution permission to shell script ( chmod +x convertFromXSQ.sh )
10. Change to xsq-tools directory using linux command line (cd XSQ_Tools)
11. Extras: You can run unofficial convertFromXSQ.sh shell script like this samples
$ remember, cd XSQ-Tools first
(A) $ ./convertFromXSQ.sh -c data/Frag.xsq
(B, from any location)
$ convertFromXSQ.sh -c /home/jacob/XSQ-Tools/data/Frag.xsq -o $HOME
(C) $ ./convertFromXSQ.sh – -rootXSQ `pwd` -c data/Frag.xsq (- – rootXSQ paramater is useful to myXSQ application)
That’s all.
Notes:
[1] If you do not set XSQ_TOOLS environment variable, the unofficial convertFromXSQ.sh set XSQ_TOOLS environment variable automatically.
[2] Follow LifeTech/ABI official readme documentation to install xsq-tools, the unofficial script updates your .bashrc ,bash_profile in user home directories but I disabled exporting PATH environment variable because I need to do some tests, if you want to run unofficial convertFromXSQ.sh from any location you will need to update and export your PATH environment variable manually.
I hope that help you , it works for me !!
