Nexus Examples Overview

Before running these examples you must build and install Nexus 4.0 at your site. See the Nexus home page.

These examples were designed as a small tutorial for Nexus 4.0. As such, they are rich with documentation. However, they are not intended as a replacement for the Nexus documentation. They assume a basic understanding of Nexus terminology.

This directory contains sub-directories, each with an example program demonstrating some set of Nexus features. The first four examples were designed to be examined in order, from the most fundamental operation in Nexus and proceeding with increasing complexity.

Each sub-directory contains a README.html file, a Makefile, and the source code. Follow the directions in each README.html that explain how to modify the Makefile, make the example, and run the example.
