For downloading LSD:
Most users will be interested in the installers (if available) of the more stable "Latest Release" version. Users looking for the current development (unstable) version may try the "Pre-release" files.
There are automatic installers for each supported operating system. The installers just copy the required LSD files for each computer and also try to install any missing required software/package, like Gnuplot, MultiTail, etc. If there are errors or warnings during the installation, they are saved to the installer.err file in the installation folder. This file must be sent to developers when asking for help on installation problems.
In case of problems with the installers, please check the detailed instructions in file Readme.txt for manually installing LSD using the source files.
To uninstall LSD, simply delete the LSD folder chosen during installation. To remove the additional software/packages installed by LSD, please use your computer standard uninstallation tools.
Download the Windows installer package (e.g. LSD-installer-windows-8-0-stable-2.zip). After the download, extract the content, double-click on the executable installer file (e.g. LSD-installer-windows-8-0-stable-2.exe), and follow the instructions. The package and the executable files can be deleted after the installation.
IMPORTANT: from version 8.0 and higher, LSD supports only Windows 64-bit. If you must run LSD in a Windows 32-bit computer, please use the 7.2 version which can be downloaded from the same site indicated below. If you are unsure of the version of Windows in your computer, please check in "Windows > Settings > System > About > System type".
Download the macOS installer package (e.g. LSD-installer-mac-8-0-stable-2.dmg). After the download, double-click on the package file to mount it, double-click on the LSD Installer application, and follow the instructions. The installer package can be unmounted and deleted after the installation.
IMPORTANT: please pay attention to the Terminal windows opened by the installer. They may require your interaction, according to the instructions of the installer. Do not close any Terminal window which is not inactive. If the Terminal window is closed or interrupted by accident, please cancel the installation and restart.
Download the installer script package (e.g. LSD-installer-linux-8-0-stable-2.zip). After the download, extract and execute the installer script. If your file manager does not support extracting compressed files or executing scripts directly, open a terminal, and type (replacing the X's with the actual values):
cd ~/Downloads
unzip LSD-installer-linux-8-0-stable-X.sh
./LSD-installer-linux-8-0-stable-X.sh
You may have to adjust the download directory according to your computer. When the LSD installer program opens, follow the instructions to install LSD and the required packages. The installer requires Tcl/Tk to be installed. This is the default in most distributions. The installer script will ask you to install Tcl/Tk if this is not the case. The installer package and script can be deleted after the installation.
IMPORTANT: from version 8.0 and higher, LSD requires GNU gcc/g++ compiler version 6.4+ and Tcl/Tk 8.6+. If you must run LSD in a older Linux distribution, please use the 7.2 version, which can be downloaded from the same site indicated above. If you are unsure of the versions installed in your computer, please type in terminal:
g++ --version
echo 'puts $tcl_version; exit 0' | tclsh
