Note #1: This guideline does not aim to replace the official installation steps provided by the authors of the 6SV software. We therefore not take any warranty of the correct performance of the 6SV software. For any questions about its installation, it is recommended to contact the corresponding authors of the 6SV software.
Note #2: The ALG software tool includes the 6SV v2.1 RTM, both compiled and source code in the folder path_to_ALG/third_party_sw/6SV2.1, where path_to_ALG is the path where the ALG software package has been installed. The installation and compilation process is described in the following paragraphs but users are not obliged to repeat these steps unless a new version of 6SV is released.
6SV is provided as a set of Fortran77 source-code files that can be downloaded from the 6S website (http://6s.ltdri.org/pages/downloads.html). After downloading the 6S source-code files, they have to be compiled in your specific computer system. This section provides basic instructions for downloading and compiling the 6SV v2.1 in a Windows system.
