Using NEMO

1. I get "command not found" for all NEMO commands
   There are two possible causes:
   If all commands fails, for example mkplummer, the NEMO environment was not added to your shell. So most likely you need to source the nemo_start.sh file, for example

         source /opt/nemo/nemo_start.sh
       

   If your case is a less common command, you might be able to install this on-the-fly with the mknemo command, for example

         mknemo mktt72
       

   would (re)compile the mktt72 command
   
   
2. Help, how do I get help
   Most NEMO programs have (standard unix) manual pages, but each program can also describe itself using the help= system keyword. And there is of course the web

       % man programs
       % man index
       % man snapplot				(or whatever program)
       % tsf help=					(or whatever program)
       % tsf help=\?				(or whatever program)
       % tsf help=h				(or whatever program)
       % xdg-open https://teuben.github.io/nemo
   
   

Installing NEMO

1. How do I install NEMO
   Of course there are many variations, but the following commands should get you something basic:

       git clone https://github.com/teuben/nemo
       cd nemo
       ./configure
       make build
       make check
       make bench
       source nemo_start.sh
     

   the script $NEMO/docs/install_nemo.sh has many options to set up some more advanced installations.
2. I have an installation of nemo which, for some reason, I want to re-compile with a version of gcc which is not in the standard path. How can I do this? Can I avoid re-installing nemo from scratch?
   TBD

Programming NEMO

1. Compiling and adding a "standard" program
   

       % cd $NEMO/src/.....        (choose some reasonable place)
       % edit program.c
       % bake program          	(local build)
   or
       % mknemo program        	(compiles and copies to $NEMOBIN)
   

2. Adding something new (but "standard") to the library

       % cd $NEMO/src/.....        (choose some reasonable place)
       % edit Makefile             (add the .o file to the object list)
       % make install              (compile and put in $NEMOLIB/libnemo.a)
   

Q:is there a noclobber option:
A:no, error=1 could help, but bad idea probably
