1 Appendix A Installing QUCS In this appendix, we will discuss how to install QUCS [1]. Note that QUCS has a lot of components, many of which we will not use. Nevertheless, we will install all components for completeness. A.1 Windows Please install the official Windows QUCS package from the download section in the QUCS homepage [1]. A.2 OS X Please install the official OS X QUCS package from the download section in the QUCS homepage [1]. A.3 Linux If you are using Linux, make sure you have a reliable internet connection, as we will be installing from source. If you are on a Linux platform, we will assume that you are comfortable with basic command line tools such as tar, apt-get, etc.and have sudo access. The instructions below are specifically for Ubuntu distribution, but they should be applicable to any of the popular Linux distributions.

2 354 A Installing QUCS 1. The first step is to download the latest QUCS tarball (v as of this writing) from [1] in your home folder. 2. Extract and unzip the tarball: 1 $ tar xvzf qucs tar.gz 3. Change into the QUCS directory and go through README.md. 4. You may need to install missing dependencies via the Debian package manager. In our case, we had to install the following packages: 1 $ sudo apt-get install gperf libxml-libxml-perl libxml2 libxml2-dev libgd-perl octave texlive-math-extra texlivescience build-essential libqt4-dev libqt4-qt3support qt4- dev-tools libqt4-opengl-dev octave-epstk automake libtool gperf flex bison git cmake 5. Next, we need to install ADMS. To do, clone the repository from github into your root folder, configure and install: 1 $ git clone 2 $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 3 $ cd ADMS 4 $ sh bootstrap.sh 5 $./configure --enable-maintainer-mode 6 $ make 7 $ sudo make install 8 $ sudo ldconfig 6. Configure, make and install QUCS: 1 $ cd ~/qucs / 2 $./configure 3 $ make 4 $ sudo make install Reference 1. QUCS Project: Quite Universal Circuit Simulator. Available online. Cited 24 May 2017
