From bf44088d4373a9520e860152c56a958332819c4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastiano Tronto Date: Mon, 1 May 2023 16:33:51 +0200 Subject: Split nissy in other repos, see README.md --- INSTALL | 81 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 81 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 INSTALL (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL deleted file mode 100644 index ffc461d..0000000 --- a/INSTALL +++ /dev/null @@ -1,81 +0,0 @@ -# Website - -Nissy is available at https://nissy.tronto.net - -# Requirements - -A full installation of nissy requires about 3Gb of space, of which -2.3Gb are occupied by the huge pruning table for fast optimal solving, -and running it requires the same amount of RAM. One can choose to never -use this function and not to install the relative pruning table. There -is an alternative (slower) optimal solving function that uses about -500Mb of RAM. When generating the pruning tables automatically (see -the section Tables below), at least 5.3Gb or RAM are required. - -# Installation - -## On Windows - -Try downloading and executing in a terminal the file nissy.exe, then -follow the instructions in the Tables section below for installing the -pruning tables. If nissy.exe does not work, you can try following the -UNIX instructions in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or in a similar -environment. - -## On a UNIX system: - -Download the source archive (.tar.gz). Extract it with your favorite -archive program, for example with - - tar -xvzf nissy-VERSION.tar.gz - -Open a terminal in the directory just extracted. If you wish, edit the -Makefile to match your local configuration (this is usually not necessary, -but you may want to change the PREFIX variable to change the installation -path) and run - - make - -followed by - - make install - -Then follow the instructions below to install the pruning tables. - -## Tables - -Once you have installed nissy, run - - nissy gen - -to generate all the tables that Nissy will ever need. Running this -command requires around 5.3Gb of RAM, and it can take some time (about -40 minutes on my fairly old but decent laptop, with 8 CPU threads). - -Some unnecessary technical detail: by default this command is going to -use at most 64 threads. If you want you can choose to use more threads -(if your CPU is very powerful) or fewer threads (if you for example -want to run this command in the background while you do other stuff) -with the -t option, for example nissy gen -t 1. - -Alternatively, you can download all the tables (1.7Gb) and copy them -into the correct folder (see manual page, ENVIRONMENT section). On UNIX -operating systems this folder is either .nissy/tables in the user's -home directory or $XDG_DATA_HOME/nissy/tables if the XDG variable -is configured. On Windows it is the same directory as the nissy.exe -executable file. - -You can downloads all the tables from the following link: - - https://nissy.tronto.net/nissy-tables-2.0.2.zip - -# Upgrading - -If you already have nissy installed and you want to upgrade to a more -recent version, you can simply repeat the installation process: -* On Windows: simply replace nissy.exe with the new file with the same name. -* On UNIX systems: download the new version of the source code, extract it - in a new folder and run make and make install again. - -Between each version new table files might have been added, or old ones -may be not used anymore. Nissy will deal with this automatically. -- cgit v1.3
