<h2 id="install-resinsight">Install ResInsight</h2>
<h3 id="from-binary-packages-on-linux">From Binary Packages on Linux</h3>

<div class="notices info" ><p>Please not that the distribution by the OPM Project will updated some time after the release of a new version on GitHub.</p>
</div>

<h4 id="red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-or-7">Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or 7</h4>
<p>Login as root and do:</p>
<pre><code>yum-config-manager --add-repo https://opm-project.org/package/opm.repo
yum install resinsight
yum install resinsight-octave
</code></pre>
<p>Then you are good, and can start ResInsight by typing: ResInsight</p>
<h4 id="ubuntu-linux-1604-64bit">Ubuntu Linux 16.04-64bit</h4>
<p>On the command line do:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:opm/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install resinsight
sudo apt-get install octave-resinsight
</code></pre>
<p>Start ResInsight by typing : <code>ResInsight</code></p>

<div class="notices info" ><p>For further installation details, see the ResInsight distribution on <a href="http://opm-project.org/?page_id=36">Opm Project Downloading and Installing</a>.</p>
</div>


<div class="notices info" ><p>The binary distributions does not support ABAQUS odb files. For building ResInsight with ABAQUS support, see
<a href="/getting-started/download-and-install/buildinstructions/">Build Instructions</a>.</p>
</div>

<h3 id="from-downloaded-tarball">From downloaded tarball</h3>
<ol>
<li>Download TAR.GZ binary distribution from <a href="https://github.com/OPM/ResInsight/releases" title="release section on GitHub">https://github.com/OPM/ResInsight/releases</a></li>
<li>Extract content from TAR file</li>
<li>Start ./ResInsight</li>
</ol>
<h4 id="display-menu-icons-in-gnome-optional">Display Menu Icons in GNOME (Optional)</h4>
<p>By default, icons are not visible in menus in the GNOME desktop environment. ResInsight has icons for many menu items, and icons can be set visible by issuing the following commands (Tested on RHEL6) :</p>
<pre><code>gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true
</code></pre><p>This fix was taken from reply number 11 in this <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117414">thread</a></p>
<h2 id="setup-octave-interface-optional">Setup Octave Interface (optional)</h2>
<ol>
<li>Install Octave directly from the package manager in Linux. See the documentation for your particular distribution.</li>
<li>Launch ResInsight, open <strong>Edit-&gt;Preferences</strong></li>
<li>Enter the path to the Octave command line interpreter executable <code>octave-cli</code> (for older version of octave use <code>octave</code>)</li>
</ol>

<div class="notices info" ><p>The precompiled octave interface distributed in the tarball is only tested for RedHat 6. <br>
It is <b>not</b> expected to work for other configurations.
(ResInsight 1.3.2-dev and earlier, was also tested on RedHat 5)<br>
<br>
If you need the octave interface to work on a different OS, you need to build ResInsight yourself.<br>
See <a href="/getting-started/download-and-install/buildinstructions/">Build Instructions</a></p>
</div>

<h2 id="workaround-for-crash-using-virtual-box">Workaround for crash using Virtual Box</h2>
<p>Uncheck <strong>Settings-&gt;Display-&gt;Enable 3D Acceleration</strong>. Disabling this option will cause OpenGL operations to be executed in software, so the the performance of graphics operations in ResInsight will be slower, but will not crash.</p>
<p>Here is a pointer addressing the issue with Virtual Box, this is not testes by us:</p>
