Installation
On Windows: Download and execute MS43Update1.exe (HTTP|FTP) . The update process will be automatic. The installer will invoke the license installer - please ignore this.
On Linux: Download MS43Update1.tar.gz (HTTP|FTP) and execute the following commands:
1. Decompress and untar the archive
tar -xzf MS43Update1.tar.gz
This operation creates a directory with subdirectories containing platform specific DMol3 binaries:
MaterialsStudio431/ |
|
linux/
linux_ia64/
linux_64_x86/ |
|
Each of the subdirectories contains both serial (dmol3.exe) and parallel (dmol3_mpi.exe) executable.
Note: The processor type can be identified using uname -p
2. Locate the DMol3 installation directory
$MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/
where $MS_INSTALL_ROOT is the location of the Materials Studio installation on the Linux server.
3. Create backup copies of the DMol3 binaries in the installation directory
cp $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/dmol3.exe $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/dmol3_bak.exe
cp $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/dmol3_mpi.exe $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/dmol3_mpi_bak.exe
4. Replace both dmol3.exe and dmol3_mpi.exe with the binaries from the patch archive, overwriting the original files. For example, if the target OS is Linux IA64, the commands should read
cp MaterialsStudio431/linux_ia64/dmol3.exe $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin
cp MaterialsStudio431/linux_ia64/dmol3_mpi.exe $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/bin
Note: Restart of the gateway is not necessary.
