Installation difficulties

[Fredrik Blom]

Hi all,

I have some difficulties installing Accelerad.

My environment is a Ubuntu 22.04 server on RunPod (https://www.runpod.io/), with a RTX 4090 GPU. This is hence for pure CLI usage.

I am trying to follow the Linux installation steps, and I have done the following:

1. Installing the necessary packages:

```
apt-get update
apt-get install csh
apt install libx11-dev
apt install xorg
apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
```

2. Downloaded the entire Radiance package (rad5R4all.tar.gz) from: https://www.radiance-online.org/download-install/radiance-source-code/latest-release and installed through `./makeall install clean. This succeeds, and I am able to run rad commands.

3. Then what?? How do I actually install Accelerad? I tried to clone the Accelerad github project, and do ./makeall install, but this did not succeed.

Thanks, and best wishes,

Fredrik

Hi Frederik,

Are you trying to compile Accelerad on your own? Steps 1 and 2 that you listed are not necessary. You can clone the Accelerad github project and use cmake. However, you can also download the precompiled application.
