3. Installing BRL-CAD
Then to Set up BRL-CAD on Debian
First, Access the Target, usually in the Downloads folder:cd && cd Downloads
To Check that there is run:
ls . | grep BRL-CAD
The grep Command refine the output List showing only the Entries matching the Keyword.
But if you are in Trouble to Find the Location on Terminal then See: How to Access Downloads Folder from Browser.And then to Setup BRL-CAD simply switch it into the Target with:
(Especially relevant: this is a System-wide setup, for a local one simply extract and run it into the $HOME folder.)sudo tar xvzf ./BRL-CAD*.tar.gz -C /opt/
Again to fix permissions
sudo chown -R root:root /opt/BRL-CAD*
And last, to prepare for PATH setup rename it simply:
sudo mv /opt/BRL-CAD* /opt/BRL-CAD

4. Amending User’s Path
Again Append BRL-CAD Binaries into the Path.
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/BRL-CAD/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
Finally, Reload the Path with:
bash
