Installation instructions #8

Closed jshipton closed 2 years ago

jshipton commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/3380 It would be great to have installation instructions for Mac users e.g. brew install superlu. I'd add them myself but I'm trying to avoid upgrading my OS as I'm going to buy a new laptop soon so anything I do may well be out of date!

I agree with you @jshipton, don't worry I'll add them!

Please let me know if there's something else 👍🏻

Thanks! My other question is have you ever installed on an HPC cluster? That's the other option I have for installing and testing the code...

jcorbino commented 3 years ago

As a matter of fact, I have done it, but it was mainly to test the parallel LU decomposition via SuperLU_Dist in a couple of problems. That I remember, I pretty much followed the same steps EXCEPT that since I didn't have root privileges, I had to locally build and link against SuperLU. What I can do is to add the instructions for Mac users between today and tomorrow (since I'm a bit busy today) so you can try it on your laptop, would that work for you @jshipton?

That sounds like a good plan! I have tried a few things myself but have not made it work yet. I'm afraid I'm on holiday for the next 2 weeks so I will complete as much of the rest of the review as I can but I'm not sure how far I'll get with installing...

Hi @jcorbino! Any progress on the Mac installation instructions?

jcorbino commented 2 years ago

Hi @jshipton I'm so sorry for the delay with the instructions for Mac users. I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow (Wednesday, October 6th) I'll push the updated "README" file with a section explaining the steps for MacOS. Basically the best way to go is by installing Eigen instead of SuperLU. But of course, there are a couple of flags that must be changed in MOLE'S Makefile for it to work on a Mac. Tomorrow I'll let you know.

Thank you,
