The MINUTI software was created in 2013 by W. Sturhahn to offer traceable evaluation codes for publications in mineral physics. The MINUTI core programs are written in Fortran90 with wrappers using bash scripts. The GUI is implemented as Tcl/Tk script and requires Tcl and Tk versions 8.6 or higher to run. The MINUTI software was extensively tested over the past years. Continuous improvement now permits to handle various data input formats and to provide useful diagnosis tools for high-quality data evaluation. A graphical display option is standard with the GUI version.
MINUTI can been installed on UNIX-like operating systems, such as MacOS, Redhat-Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse, Solaris etc. For MS-Windows like operating systems, the preferred method to run MINUTI is the installation of a virtual environment, e.g. VirtualBox, install a Linux-type guest system, and install MINUTI on that guest system.
