Download the following archive:
Extract previous archive in your home directory (assuming /home/$USER in the following). You should see a new FoRTReSS_Ubuntu_20.04_gcc_9.4_jdk_8 directory in your home folder.
Install gcc / g++ 9.4:
sudo apt install gcc-9
sudo apt install g++-9
Configure update-alternatives for gcc / g++ 9.4:
sudo update-alternatives –install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 100
sudo update-alternatives –install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 100
sudo update-alternatives –config gcc
sudo update-alternatives –config g++
Check out gcc / g++ version with:
gcc -v
g++ -v
which should return 9.4 in both cases.
FoRTReSS also requires Java Runtime Environment, JRE7 strictly speaking but it may work with JRE8 which is easier to install.
