Check the installation

You can check the installation by simply running the following command:

pNbody_checkall

This command must of course be in your path. This will be the case if you did not specified any --prefix. On the contrary if --prefix is set to for example, localdir you should have your PATH environment variable should contains:

localdir/bin

and you PYTHONPATH environment should contains:

localdir/lib/python2.x/site-packages/

to ensure that the pNbody package will be found.

If everything goes well, you should see a lots of outputs on your screen, as well as a window displaying an edge-on disk.

Close it when you see it. The script should finally ends up with something like
