This guide will help the user understand how to install and use CTM4XAS on their own Ubuntu workstation. If you are using another platform, please refer to the appropriate documentation or contact Benjamin Alldritt for assistance.

Step-by-step guide

To run CTM4XAS, you will need the following software:

Requirements

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install wine libp11-kit-gnome-keyring:i386

2. Configure Wine.
