Check to see if you already have Gnuplot, by typing '<span class="command"><strong>which gnuplot</strong></span>' in a shell window. If Gnuplot is installed, you need to make sure that it is version 4.0 or newer ('<span class="command"><strong>gnuplot --version</strong></span>').
</p><p>
If you need to install Gnuplot, rpms are available from <a class="ulink" href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gnuplot&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=i386" target="_top">rpmfind.net</a> and gzipped tar files from <a class="ulink" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2055&release_id=129218" target="_top">SourceForge</a>. If you are using Debian Linux, Gnuplot will be downloaded and installed if you issue the following command as root: '<span class="command"><strong>apt-get install gnuplot</strong></span>'.

Check to see if you already have Python, by typing '<span class="command"><strong>which python</strong></span>' in a shell window.
</p><p>
If you have Python, type '<span class="command"><strong>python</strong></span>'. The version number should be displayed. If this is less than 2.4, the scripts may not work with your currently installed Python version. (Press 'CTRL+D, ENTER' to exit.)
</p><p>
If you need to install Python, follow the appropriate instructions for your system at <a class="ulink" href="http://www.python.org" target="_top">www.python.org</a>. You should install the latest version of Python 2.5, or Python 2.6 (which also works fine with <span class="application">GaussSum</span>). If you are using Debian Linux, Python will be downloaded and installed if you issue the following command as root: '<span class="command"><strong>apt-get install python python-tk</strong></span>'.

Numpy is an extension to Python that allows efficient matrix manipulation. You should try to find a binary package for your system rather than compiling it yourself (check your package management system). Source code is available from <a class="ulink" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103" target="_top">here</a>. If you are using Debian Linux, Numpy will be downloaded and installed if you issue the following command as root: '<span class="command"><strong>apt-get install python-numpy python-numpy-ext</strong></span>'.

This should be untarred into a folder in the usual way, using '<span class="command"><strong>tar zxvf Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz</strong></span>'.
