2. Set the environment variables.

   export PATH=/path/to/grads-2.2.1/bin:$PATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   export GADDIR=/path/to/grads-2.2.1/data
   export GASCRP=/path/to/grads-2.2.1/src
   export GAUDPT=/path/to/grads-2.2.1/udpt

3. Create a configuration file.

   vim /path/to/grads-2.2.1/udpt

   Add the following content to the file:

   # Type     Name     Full path to shared object file

   gxdisplay  Cairo    /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxdCairo.so
   gxdisplay  X11      /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxdX11.so
   gxdisplay  gxdummy  /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxdummy.so
   *
   gxprint    Cairo    /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxpCairo.so
   gxprint    GD       /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxpGD.so
   gxprint    gxdummy  /path/to/grads-2.2.1/lib/libgxdummy.so
   *
   #function   dothis   /home/username/grads/udp/dothis.so

4. Decompress the test case file.

   tar -zxvf example.tar.gz

5. Run GrADS.
