Getting and unpacking the specfe source code

The source code for specfe is available from the BESSRC web page, in the "Downloads" section, at http://www.bessrc.aps.anl.gov/downloadDocs/. You should download one of the "specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz" files, preferably the 'latest' version.

Unpack the code using one of the following commands:

• If you have the GNU tar program :

  tar -zxvf specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz

  or

  gnutar -zxvf specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz

• If you only have the 'standard' tar

  gunzip -c specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz | tar xvf -

• Any of these commands should unpack the specfe source files into a new directory called specfe-<xxx>, change to this directory by typing :

  cd specfe-<xxx>
