Installation of binaries

The official release of the Modelica Buildings Library that can be downloaded at simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/download.html contains all binaries required to simulated the models in Buildings.ThermalZones_9_6_0. You should not have to do any other installations or settings.

However, binaries can also be downloaded and installed manually, the binaries can be downloaded from the following links:

To install, proceed as follows:

wget https://spawn.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/Spawn-light-0.4.3-7048a72798-Linux.tar.gz;
tar xzf Spawn-light-0.4.3-7048a72798-Linux.tar.gz;
export PATH=${PATH}:`pwd`/Spawn-light-0.4.3-7048a72798-Linux/bin

How is spawn invoked?

Modelica tries to invoke spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798[.exe] in this order:

1. On Linux, it searches for

   Buildings[ x.y.z]/Resources/bin/spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798/linux64/bin/spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798
   

   and on Windows, it searches for

   Buildings[ x.y.z]/Resources/bin/spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798/win64/bin/spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798.exe
   

   where Buildings[ x.y.z] is the installation folder of the Modelica Buildings Library. This file is distributed with the Modelica Buildings Library installation, together with all files needed to translate and simulate a model in a Modelica environment.
2. If not found, it searches on the environment variable SPAWNPATH for spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798[.exe].
3. If not found, it searches on the environment variable PATH for spawn-0.4.3-7048a72798[.exe].

If none of this succeeds, it will stop with an error.
