You should be running at least Debian Lenny / Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) to have required version of dependencies.

Using prepackaged version

You can use pre-compiled packages build by launchpad PPA service once in a while, if you are running Ubuntu.

Manual installation from sources

Installing dependecies (cut&paste to terminal all together): 

sudo aptitude install scons libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools freeglut3-dev \   
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \   
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \   
libboost-iostreams-dev liblog4cxx9-dev python-dev libboost-python-dev ipython \   
python-matplotlib libsqlite3-dev python-numeric python-tk gnuplot doxygen \
libgts-dev python-pygraphviz

or for Ubuntu 9.04: 

sudo aptitude install scons libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools freeglut3-dev \   
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \   
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \   
libboost-iostreams-dev liblog4cxx10-dev python-dev libboost-python-dev ipython \   
python-matplotlib libsqlite3-dev python-numeric python-tk gnuplot doxygen \
libgts-dev python-pygraphviz

Optionally you might want to install the wildmagic 3 library, which can be used by Lattice Geometrical Model. But is not absolutely necassary (used only for Delaunay mesh generation method in lattice model).

Make sure that you have boost 1.34 or higher

Download and compile Yade

Download and unpack: 

wget http://beta.arcig.cz/~eudoxos/yade/yade-0.12rc1.tar.bz2

 BUT DOES NOT TRY TO GET THIS FILE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER IS UNREACHABLE. YOU MY FIND yade-0.12.1.tar.bz2 SOMEWHERE ELSE
tar xvzj yade-0.12rc1.tar.bz2

  BUT THE INSTRUCTION ABOVE IS CONFLICTING, YOU MAY TRY tar jxvf yade-0.12.1.tar.bz2  
cd yade-0.12rc1


scons PREFIX=/home/username/YADE optimize=1 # installs to /usr/local by default


IT WAS TOO SHORT, MAY BE IT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY!

Replace username with your user name. Be sure to check out scons options on installation details page for optimized builds or different installation directory.
