Pre installation: Linux distribution packages
Recommended pre-requisites are described in detail in the installation documentation, but since some packages and names vary across Linux distributions. Here is an attempt to list recommended prerequisite packages, on a "per-distribution basis."
For the installation of a .tar.gz release, the following packages should be installed first:
gcc
gcc-fortran
openmpi
python-pyqt5
zlib
The hdf5 and cgns packages can be used, but MED 4.1 is not compatible with HDF5 1.12, so if that is needed, building a HFD5-1.10 version (either manually or using code_saturne's semi-automatic installer) is recommended. This implies building CGNS also with than same base if that library is desired.
The following packages will be needed for the "bootstrap" phase, needed for new git clones or when the source tree has been modified:
autoconf
automake
Generating the documentation requires:
doxygen
graphviz
texlive-science
This will require the installation of a Python and MPI-enabled Parawiew. If you choose to install a separate version based on OSMesa (off-screen Mesa), the mesa package can be used. Ray-tracing will require the ospray package.
In any case, cmake will be useful.
For the installation of a .tar.gz release, the following packages should be installed first:
gcc
g++
gfortran
openmpi-bin
pyqt5-dev
pyqt5-dev-tools
python3-pyqt5
python3-setuptools
zlib1g-dev
The libhdf5-dev package can be used as a prerequisite for installation of the CGNS and MED libraries, though the semi-automatic installer can also build and install a version aligned with MED, which will only build with a matching hdf5 series (hdf5-1.12 for MED 5.0, 5.10 for MED 4.1).
The following packages will be needed for the "bootstrap" phase, needed for new git clones or when the source tree has been modified:
autoconf
automake
autotools
Generating the documentation requires:
doxygen
graphviz
texlive-science
This will require the installation of a Python and MPI-enabled Parawiew. If you choose to install a separate version based on OSMesa (off-screen Mesa), the libosmesa6-dev package can be used.
In any case, cmake will be useful.
Some users have reported issues detecting/loading PyQt on WSL-based Debian, Ubuntu, or Arch Linux systems. This is a known issue
For this, the workaround seems to be to run:
sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5
Or
sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5
depending on the libQt5Core.so.5 installation path.
