Downloads

Download the required files (and optional ones too, if you want them):

[Required] EMPIRE-3.2-MALTA.tgz - is the only file, which is strictly required. It contains all sources, scripts, GUI, and other files needed for execution of reaction calculations including microscopic HFB level densities . The file can be placed anywhere in the file system.
[Required] install.sh - is a bash script, which decompresses EMPIRE-3.2 package and compiles it. It makes installation straightforward and is strongly recommended.
[Optional] C4-latest.tgz (88 MB) - EXFOR library of experimental data in the C4 format, as distributed by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section. If downloaded this file should be placed in the same directory as EMPIRE-3.2.tgz. When uncompressed, the library expands into a tree of files for different projectiles and isotopes totaling about 983 Mb. This structure, combined with the FORTRAN based retrieval coded in the EMPIRE physics core, replaces previous MySQL/Java retrieval, which was difficult to maintain and would not run on some systems.
Note: Users may periodically update local EXFOR library by downloading from the IAEA Web page http://www-nds.iaea.org/x4toc4-master/ the latest C4-date.zip file, with 'date' standing for the actual release date. This file should be unpacked in the EXFOR subdirectory of the EMPIRE tree and processed with the parseC4.py script:
```
   $ python parseC4.py C4-date.x4c4
```
This splits EXFOR into separate directories for each projectile and separate files for each isotope.
EXFOR is only needed for the comparison plots.
Tcl/Tk and Itcl are included in most of the modern operating systems (e.g., Mac OSX and various Linux versions). If they are not present in the default OS installation one should consult system specific repositories.
