Introduction

This Quick Start Guide provides basic instructions for first-time users getting started with GAMIT/GLOBK. We describe the download, compilation and test processes, beyond which we refer users to our main technical documents (Introduction to GAMIT/GLOBK and the more detailed reference manuals for GAMIT and GLOBK).

This information is compiled through experience with first-time users of GAMIT/GLOBK from workshops and elsewhere.

The Prerequisites section provides details separated by the type of operating system (Linux, macOS and Windows). The rest of the compilation and testing process is common to all operating systems.
