On Linux, to "copy # and paste", you select with the left button, and then you click with the middle # button to paste into your target. Sometimes you have to click twice, but # once you get the hang of it, it is fine. mkdir -p swarm/OtherPeoplesCode/ cd swarm/OtherPeoplesCode/ wget http://pj.freefaculty.org/Swarm/MySwarmCode/ConwayGameOfLife/ConwayLife-1.2.tar.gz tar xzvf ConwayLife-1.2.tar.gz cd ConwayLife-1.2 make ./conway1 -------------------- After that, the model is running.
