You may, on Linux systems, ask for a reconfiguration (e.g. after installing MPI, Matlab, ...) with the commands, e.g: cd MCSTAS/tools/perl/ sudo ./mcstas_reconfigure On Windows systems, the reconfiguration is performed with the mcconfig.pl command. The examples directory of the distribution contains a set of instrument examples. These are used for the McStas self test procedure, which is executed with mcrun --test # mcrun.pl on Windows This test takes a few minutes to complete, and ends with a short report on the installation itself, the simulation accuracy and the plotter check. You should now be able to use McStas. For some examples to try, see the examples/ directory. Start 'mcgui' (mcgui.pl on Windows), and select one of the examples in the 'Neutron Sites' menu.
