Download the newest version of ART

Make a new directory for the install and extract the tar package into it:

mkdir ~/Applications/ART
cd ~/Applications/ART
tar -xvzf /mnt/c/Users/*[your_username]*/Downloads/acpcdetect2.0*.tar.gz

Set the ARTHOME environment variable and add the binary directory to your PATH by editing your ~/.bashrc file:

vim ~/.basrc

Add these lines to the end:

export ARTHOME=/path/to/ART
export PATH=$ARTHOME/bin:$PATH

Execute acpcdetect by running command in terminal

You may get an error when executing acpcdetect:

acpcdetect: error while loading shared libraries: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you get this error, run the following:

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
