2. install java 8 :
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
1. download the ERSN-OpenMC GUI from :
[https://github.com/EL-Bakkali-Jaafar/ERSN-OpenMC/releases](https://github.com/EL-Bakkali-Jaafar/ERSN-OpenMC/releases)
1. untar the archive and double-clic on the extracted binary file to run it under java: java -tar ERSN-OpenMC-v1.1.jar
2. then install the prerequisistes and openMC by choosing Tools then Get OpenMC and related libraries (you will be asked to enter the sudoer password for some packages)
