Download Yade
You can install either a release (numbered version, which is frozen) or the current developement version (updated by the developers frequently).
Release version
Releases can be downloaded from the download page[1], as compressed archive. Uncompressing the archive gives you a directory with the sources.
Once you downloaded the sources, you have to install dependencies following the instructions from here: https://yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html#prerequisities
Current development version
Developement version (trunk) can be obtained from the code repository at github. Follow instructions from here to download: https://www.yade-dem.org/wiki/Yade_on_github#Setup
Once you downloaded the sources, you have to install dependencies following the instructions from here: https://yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html#prerequisities
Flow Engine
To add the flow engine and perform coupled fluid-particle simulations, follow the instructions below. Basically there are just a number of dependencies that need to be satisfied.
Openblas
Openblas is a packaged version of Kazushige Goto's gotoblas, which is recommended by most matrix library developers. It is available precompiled in 12.04 but it breaks python's matplotlib because it provides a different version of lapack, which is a dependency of matplotlib.
Download and compilation
You should download the sources at github: https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/zipball/master
Prerequisites:
- gfortran - type on a terminal "sudo apt-get install gfortran"
Optional:
- pthread - type on a terminal "sudo apt-get install libpthread-stubs0-dev"
Open a terminal and place you into the folder where the openblas sources have been downloaded. Unpack the compressed file. To compile, do this:
- type "make FC=gfortran" so as to use the right compiler;
- type "sudo make install", to install the library.
Make a symlink to /path/to/libopenblas.so.0 in the standard path so that yade will find it at startup:
- sudo ln -s /path/to/libopenblas.so.0 /usr/lib/libopenblas.so.0
Note for ubuntu 10.04 users: it may be easier on 10.04 to compile the ancestor of openblas: gotoblas
Taucs
TAUCS is a C library of sparse linear solvers. You have two options:
- Download taucs sources already configured for 12.04 + openblas here (recommended)
- Download taucs sources from the CGAL project. In this case you'll have to configure the build by editing /config/linux.mk (you need at least to set the path to openblas, or to other libs you may want to use).
Prerequisities and Compilation
As a prerequisite, you have to install ParMETIS (Parallel Graph Partitioning and Fill-reducing Matrix Ordering). To do this open a terminal and type:
- sudo apt-get install libparmetis-dev
You can also download and compile your own metis-4.0.1 (it doesn't really matter both ways should work)
To compile, open a terminal and place you into the folder where the taucs sources have been downloaded. To compile, do this:
- type "make"
- type "sudo make install", to install the library (this step may give harmless error messages even if it actually compiled (it failed at post-built test stages), ignore them and just check that /src/taucs.h and /lib/linux/libtaucs.a are present).
Cholmod
CHOLMOD is a set of ANSI C routines for sparse Cholesky factorization and update/downdate. A MATLAB interface is provided. The simplest way to get CHOLMOD and its dependencies is to just download all of SuiteSparse. Do this.
Prerequisities and Download
Install LaPack (Linear Algebra Package) and “suitesparse-metis” package in Ubuntu (collection of libraries for computations for sparse matrices)
- sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev libsuitesparse-metis-dev
Download the SuiteSparse sources from here (ATTENTION, download version 3.7.1)
Compilation
To compile, open a terminal and place you into the folder that contains the sources. Then type:
- make
- sudo make install
Eigen
Eigen is a C++ template library for linear algebra: matrices, vectors, numerical solvers, and related algorithms.
You should verify that the version of eigen3 you have installed among Yade prerequisities, is of version >3.1. If it's not the case, you have to delete the libeigen3-dev you've installed.
To verify the version of libeigen3-dev, open a terminal and type:
- sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions
- sudo apt-show-versions libeigen3-dev
If the version is <3.1, delete the library and type:
- sudo apt-get purge libeigen3-dev
Then download here the correct version of eigen3 and follow the installation instructions (it is not necessary the compilation, just a "make install" to copy the headers into a /usr shared folder
Get LinSolv version of flow engines
Get the "linsolv" version of flow engines. Please contact Bruno Chareyre or Emanuele Catalano for this.
Compile Yade with Flow Engine
You're now ready to compile Yade. This operation will create and executable file and you'll be able to perform coupled fluid-particle simulations.
Follow this instructions (for complete informations about compilation options, go here:
- Open a terminal and place you in the folder that contains the trunk/ folder (Yade sources). Type:
- mkdir Yade
- mv trunk/ ./Yade/trunk
- cd Yade
- mkdir build
- cd build/
- cmake -DENABLE_LINSOLV=ON -DINSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/Yade/ /path/to/Yade/trunk/ (this will create the makefile)
- make (this will take several minutes or hours, depending on your machine specs)
- make install
To launch Yade, type:
- cd path/to/Yade/bins
- ./yade
