How to install VESTA on ubuntu 14.04?

[baig abdullah al muhit]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to install VESTA (Visualization for Electronic and Structural Analysis) software on my ubuntu machine. This is what I did:

1. I downloaded the file: VESTA-x86_64.tar.bz2 (ver. 3.3.3, built on May 29 2016, 21.8MB) from this web page:

http://jp-minerals.org/vesta/en/download.html

2. Unzip with this command:

bzip2 -dk VESTA-i686.tar.bz2

3. Which created this foloder: VESTA-i686

But, I don't know what to do next. If I write VESTA on the command terminal, it shows 'command not found'.

Can anyone suggests how can I run VESTA from the command terminal?

Regards,

Baig

Hello Abdullah

VESTA does not require any installation in order to use it
After unziping the VESTA-i686.tar.bz2 file, open a terminal in the VESTA-i686 folder and use this commands :
chmod +x VESTA  (if necessary)
./VESTA

Hello Anass,

Thank you for helping me. It's working now!. When I typed ./VESTA in the terminal it gave me an error:

error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.

Then, I corrected the error by installing the library:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

After that, I wrote ./VESTA and it worked perfectly. 

Regards,

Baig
