Download the Atlas of Lie Groups Software Package

The software is now being distribued via google code using git. The old software download page is now out of date and will not be maintained.

Visit the atlas project page at code.google.com

Quick Start: Getting the latest source code using git

If all you want is a tar file of the source code, go to the downloads page at code.google.com.

If you want the most up-to-date version of the source code, this is distributed using git. You need a git client, which is standard under linux, and available for mac and pc. On a linux system do this:

%git clone https://code.google.com/p/atlasofliegroups

(hit return at the Password prompt). This creates a subdirectory atlasofliegroups and installs the code there. That's all you need to do.

Once you've done this, to update your source code with the latest version, do this:

%cd atlasofliegroups [all further commands are done inside this directory]
%git pull origin

There is a subdirectory atlasofliegroups/.git with meta-information for git. You can delete this, although then to update the software you'll need to do a fresh git clone.

Troubleshooting

If you get an error something like this:

Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

One possible explanation is that the version of git you are using is too old. Version 1.7.0.4 is known to work. Do:
git --version.
