After archive extraction you will find a directory named lapmod_system_YYYYMMDD. You're now ready to compile the codes. You need to open a terminal first, with Xterm.
From the LAPMOD_SYSTEM_YYYMMDD directory, change directory to any of the directories LAPMOD, LAPEMI or LAPOST and run ./compile. This will create the executable.
You can modify the compile script according to your compiler in case it is not gfortran or if you want to change some settings.
Use the command path/to/lapmod lapmod.inp to run the model, where path/to/ indicates the path to the directory where the executable is.
