This page contains the files needed to install and run Hex version 6.3 (27 Nov 2010).
The main purpose of this version is to include support for more recent CUDA drivers for Linux,
which is not compatible with the previous version of Hex (6.1).
Here,
For Linux, download the installation script hex_setup.bin and select one gzipped tar file (.tgz) which most closely corresponds to your system. The Linux binaries are labelled according to the Linux version the were built on: "lnx" means 32-bit Intel Linux. "x64" means 64-bit Intel Linux. "ppc" means 32-bit PowerPC Linux. Sorry, I do not have a 64-bit PowerPC machine.
Please read the README file first. The basic installation includes a Manual and some examples. A more extensive list of examples is provided in the Hex Home Page.
A CUDA version is not available for Ubuntu-11.4 due to kernel/compiler compatibility issues.
For the Mac version, you can get CUDA here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html
On Windows, Hex uses a cache directory in "C:\Program Files\Hex 6.3\cache". On windows 7, this directory is write-projected by default. For best performance, this directory should be write-enabled for all users: right-click this folder and select the Security Tab. Then select Users, and click Edit to enable Write access.
