If you aren't fortunate
enough to have one of these systems, you may find packages available
for you Linux variant. Check your package management tool to see
whether GMT is available. If not, refer to the GMT home page to see
what your options are. You always have the option to build from source
on your platform, and the GMT website
10
can generate a configuration
file based on your choices. You then feed the configuration file to the
install_gmt
script, and it handles downloading, building, and installing
the software.
If you are a Windows user, your options are a bit more limited. The GMT
folks suggest installing Cygwin and then building GMT as you would for
Unix. Again, see the website for your options.
