Chapter 2. Introduction

The Güralp Systems Linux tools are a suite of open-source libraries and applications for handling the recording and transfer of seismic data.

They are written for a generic Linux system and include a simple package management system which downloads the source code for each package and automatically compiles it for your system.

The tools have been tested on a recent (2016) Gentoo installation of Linux and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 6 and 7.
