sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

Install ALSA developer library::

sudo apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-dev

Install Glew developer library (libglew1.6 for new 'oneiric' release)::

# For older Ubuntu install libglew1.5 instead of this.
sudo apt-get install libglew1.6 libglew1.6-dev

Install PyPlasm Python dependencies::

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL-accelerate

Open a bash shell and type::

cd plasm
make clean
make
sudo make install

To test the PyPlasm distribution, type::

python
from pyplasm import *
c=CUBOID([1,1,1])
VIEW(c)
quit()

To run some other tests, type::

python /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyplasm/examples.py

(OPTIONAL, only for DEBUGGING) if you want to run the self test procedure xgemain::

./src/xgemain/xgemain
