IFEFFIT: Download Page

For platform-specific information, see Windows, Unix, and MacOS X.

The ChangeLog, giving detailed descriptions about each revision is here. You can also browse through the source directory.

The latest distribution can also be found at the Ifeffit Project at Sourceforge.net.

If you have questions about IFEFFIT, please consider sending email to ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov, a Mailing List with a public archive.

The full version of IFEFFIT 1.2.8 is here:
ifeffit-1.2.8a.exe (sourceforge.net) or ifeffit-1.2.8a.exe (cars9.uchicago.edu).
This will install the versions of the IFEFFIT applications listed above.

For some applications, there may be later versions. For updates to Bruce Ravel's programs, check Bruce's Software Page. For updates to Sam Webb's programs, check the SixPack Home Page.

Windows 98 and Me Users: please see these instructions.

For versions 1.2.4 and higher, updates to the Windows distribution will be automatically checked for and installed when needed.

This installer was made using Inno Setup. For further details see the "build_setup" directory. There are details on how to program with Ifeffit on Win32 systems in the "wrappers" directory, but if you're interested in building a programming extension for Win32 contact me.

For older versions of Ifeffit for Windows, browse here.

Build instructions are here. Aside from the optional PGPLOT library, the build is pretty straightforward.
Currently this procedure builds the command-line program IFEFFIT, AUTOBK, DIFFKK, and FEFF6, and building the python and perl extensions is straightforward.

For Mac OS 10.3, the disk image is at %macdmg% (sourceforge.net) or %macdmg% (cars9.uchicago.edu). can be downloaded and mounted and uses the normal Macintosh installation program to install Applications for Athena, Artemis, TkAtoms, PeriodicTable, Feff6, Autobk, and Feffit that launch by clicking the Application icon. The Applications for Feff6, Autobk, and Feffit prompt you for the appropriate input file, and runs the corresponding program in the appropriate directory. Finally, for those interested in using the Unix command-line all of these programs plus ifeffit and diffkk can be run from a Terminal.

For Mac OS 10.2, the disk image is at ifeffit-1.2.4.dmg (sourceforge.net) or ifeffit-1.2.4.dmg (cars9.uchicago.edu). can be downloaded and mounted. This uses a simple 'Install_Ifeffit' script that will ask you a few questions and install ifeffit, athena, artemis, tkatoms, apt, feffit, autobk, diffkk, and feff6.

To build from source, Install Fink's g77 compiler, and follow the "normal Unix" instructions. More information is in README.MACOSX. This relies on the X-Darwin version of X-Windows, and you will need the Unix-like software from the Fink Project. This will build the command-line program IFEFFIT, FEFFIT, AUTOBK, DIFFKK, and FEFF6, and can be used to build python and perl extensions. For hints on building Athena, and Artemis, see This message or contact Matt.

An older MacOS X binary installer available here.

AUTOBK and FEFFIT are now included in the IFEFFIT distribution for Unix machines, and will be built during installation. You can also browse through the AUTOBK source tree and FEFFIT source tree and for other versions.
