Where to Download

We have tested our source code package on several platforms, including Linux/Ubuntu, Linux/Debian, Linux/RedHat, Linux/CentOS, Mac OS X 10.8, CygWIN64 and MinGW for Windows.

From version 4.9, RAREMETALWORKER and RAREMETAL source code are distributed within the same package, which can be downloaded in the following:

  • The source package for Linux can be downloaded here: for Linux
  • The source package for Linux can be downloaded here: for MAC OS X

For binary executables, we only distribute the one for Linux. For the other platforms, we recommend you build from source code that can be downloaded from above.

How to Compile

  • If you choose to build from the source files, you could start from decompress the package using the following command:
 prompt> tar xvf LINUX_raremetal.0.4.9.tgz
 prompt> cd raremetal_0.4.9
  • If you prefer to build two tools all at once, then do the following:
 prompt> cd raremetal
 prompt> make
 This builds RAREMETAL and RAREMETALWORKER under bin/ directory. 
  • If you prefer to build individual tool:
 prompt> cd raremetal/raremetalworker/src
 prompt> make
 This will build RAREMETALWORKER under raremetal/bin/ directory.
 prompt> cd raremetal/raremetal/src
 prompt> make
 This will build RAREMETAL under raremetal/bin/ directory.
  • If you prefer to use the binary file downloaded above, then no compiling is needed, but it is not guaranteed to work due to system and library requirements.
