Hi,

Please go to http://pine.nmrfam.wisc.edu/download_packages.html and download Linux 64bits version.

Follow instructions you see in the web page. It will install required libraries automatically.

Best,
Woonghee

I cant get Sparky to do download on my Linux distribution. 


Linux bb05zeiske 4.4.0-75-generic #96-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:56:33 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I followed these instructions:

Installing for Linux or Unix

You may wish to examine platform specific installation notes for Linux  or SGI .

The standard installation directory is /usr/local/sparky, but you can install it in any directory you like. Unpack the sparky-xxx.tar.gz file as follows.

	% cd /usr/local
	% tar zxf /tmp/sparky-xxx.tar.gz

Some versions of tar do not recognize the z option to uncompress. In that case use:

	% gunzip -c /tmp/sparky-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -

This is the error message that I get:
tar (child): /tmp/sparky-linux2.6-64bit. tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Im a bit new to Linux, I dont know if I am doing something wrong or if this version doesnt support the program. Please help!
