All of Amber will compile and run on Ubuntu Linux platforms. A full operating system (OS) installation is recommended. However, for disk space misers here are the lists of Ubuntu packages beyond minimal OS installations that can be used by Amber 11 and AmberTools 1.3:
sudo apt-get install bison csh flex gfortran g++ xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential byacc
Ubuntu command to get OS version:
cat /etc/lsb-release
GNU command to get compiler version:
g++ -v
