Using Eclipse / Mojave
Contents
Installing Eclipse
- Go to http://downloads.eclipse.org, select the Eclipse for C/C++ developers. Select the relevant operating system and download, then untar / unzip. That is all there is the installation.

- Click on the Add tab, a dialogue will appear
- In the dialogue, put "Mojave" for the site name, and "http://stevenrbrandt.com/Mojave-Update/" for the location.
- The dialogue below will create a checkbox next to Mojave. Click next to continue the install.
- Please make sure that your system also has perl, python, git, and subversion installed as well.
- If you wish to build locally, you will also need gcc, g++, gfortran (or equivalent compilers), and make.
Installing Photran
- Click on Help > Install New Software ...
- Click on the Add tab, a dialogue will appear
- In the dialogue, put "PTP" for the site name, and "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios" for the location.
- Type the word "Photran" in the filter text box.
- Select all checkboxes, and click next to continue the install.
Using Mojave
To use Mojave you first need to create a Cactus project. These projects can either come from the web, or you can use an existing installation on disk.
To install from the web
- Click File > Project > New Mojave Project
- Select the radio button for installing from the web
- On the next page of the wizard, fill in your email address (for configuration of SimFactory), a project name, and the location of a thornlist. By default, einsteintoolkit.th will be loaded. This is a big project and will take time to download.
To use an existing install
- Click File > Project > New Mojave Project
- Select the radio button for using an existing install
- On the wizard, select an Eclipse project name and browse to the existing install.
