Installation script. Is update required? #59

Closed xanfus closed 4 years ago

./install_saturne.py

The 'install_saturne.py' installer script should not be run from inside the
'/home/<user>/code_saturne' Code_Saturne source directory,
but from a separate directory.

We recommend running for example:

  cd /home/<user>/code_saturne/..
  mkdir saturne_build
  cd saturne_build
  ../code_saturne/install_saturne.py

or (using absolute paths):

  mkdir /home/<user>/code_saturne_build
  cd /home/<user>/code_saturne_build
  /home/<user>/code_saturne/install_saturne.py

Way of relative paths addresses nonexisting file from saturne_build perspective. Way of absolute paths finishes like this:

user@host:~/code_saturne_build$ /home/user/code_saturne/install_saturne.py 

        Installation of Code_Saturne
        ____________________________

The process will take several minutes.
You can have a look at the log file meanwhile.

    f = open(path)

Another file, "configure.ac" is available in "code_saturne".

We mostly need to specify in the README.md that when cloning the Git repository, ./sbin/bootstrap needs to be run first, to generate configure and Makefile.in files (which are pre-gernerated when downloading a release .tar.gz from the main website).

This is specified in the detailed pdf documentation, but since the README.md provides simple install instructions, it should also be there...

Thank you for your swift response. I went with PDF documentation for a while and made a break, when successive calls to configure with CC and FC parameters set (page 12, v6.0) finished with no HDF5 support (--with-med wasn't set either). Without further investigation, I realised, i can go with prebuilt apt package with code-saturne v4.3.3 starting from today, as the first acquaintance. v6.0.2 is prepared for Ubuntu 20.04, which i consider too. Somehow, i missed a mention about code-saturne distribution in package managers at web site.

YvanFournier closes the issue for a time being. I proceed with tutorials and packaged CS distribution.
