HamSCI / PyLap

Python-based Interface to PHaRLAP

Linux Install Instructions

Note This install is only available for Ubuntu linux systems with X86 CPU's Note

Note It is also possible to install PyLap using WSL2 with Ubuntu for windows machines running windows 10 and windows 11 Note

Download Steps

1. Create a folder on the home directory where you will place all of the downloaded resources.

2. Download PHaRLAP toolbox for matlab and unzip to the directory that you just created https://www.dst.defence.gov.au/our-technologies/pharlap-provision-high-frequency-raytracing-laboratory-propagation-studies .

3. Download Pylap from github in the same directory that you just created.

   Note This works for either cloning the github repository or downloading it as a zip file Note

4. Download Redistributable Libraries for Intel® C++ and Fortran 2020. Which is required because the original fortran code was compiled using the Intel fortran compiler. The one used originally is available at the following download link: https://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/17113/l_comp_lib_2020.4.304_comp.for_redist.tgz

5. cd within a terminal window into the intel libraries folder and run install.sh, follow the prompt until install complete. when promted with where to install this, the default should be the home drive (ex. [/home/UserName]). The default location is fine to use for the installation.
