Obtain the Capsim® Text Mode Kernel (CapsimTMK) for Linux from:
GitHub Capsim Text Mode Repository 
CapsimTMK is distributed with all the blocks that are needed for modeling and simulating Synthetic Aperture Radar.
This Repository contains the Topologies for SAR.
Note: Follow the Getting Started Guidelines in the CapsimTMK Repository.
Once CapsimTMK is installed just run 'make' in this directory (in the SAR repository): SAR_CapsimTMK_Project
Then change to the directory 'Topologies' and run:
../capsim sar_image_formation_5.t
The new image files created will be listed in the console.
