Configuring and running cracks #69

Closed Str-Mil closed 4 years ago

Str-Mil commented 4 years ago

Hello professor Heister,

I came across your papers while doing some project at my University, hence I am quite new in the Linux and Deal.II I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to configure and build deal.ii so I could manage to run your cracks program.

Which Linux version should I use?

Can I use: https://github.com/dealii/candi to install deal.ii with all dependencies needed for cracks, so I wouldn't have to bother with installing Trilinos etc.

Also do I need regular Linux platform or is it possible to do through VirtualBox or through Windows10 Ubuntu app.

I'm sorry if my questions are too simple, but I am really begginer in everything of this.

Thank you in advance

Yes.

Also do I need regular Linux platform or is it possible to do through VirtualBox or through Windows10 Ubuntu app.

These options work as well. See the guide at https://www.dealii.org/download.html in the blue box.

Your questions are more about deal.II, so please use https://www.dealii.org/help.html and the forum for questions there.
