Installation (specific to lab 1 FRTN35: Frequency response analysis)

1. Open a terminal
2. Type export JULIA_PKGDIR=/var/tmp/$USER; export JULIA_EDITOR=gedit. (Feel free to choose another text editor if you don't like gedit.) At the moment, this has to be done every time you restart the terminal (Anders Blomdell will fix).
3. Type mkdir FRTN35_lab1; cd FRTN35_lab1
4. Start julia
5. Install BallAndBeam.jl using command Pkg.clone("https://gitlab.control.lth.se/processes/BallAndBeam.jl.git"); using BallAndBeam Lots of packages will now be installed, this will take some time.
6. Type cp(Pkg.dir("BallAndBeam","src","FRTN35_lab1.jl"), "FRTN35_lab1.jl"); edit("FRTN35_lab1.jl"). The script FRTN35_lab1.jl will now open in the chosen text editor, edit it while following the lab manual. If unsure about how a function works, type ?function_name for help.
