Cyclus | 1.4 |
The Cyclus Core supports two binary installation options:
- Conda (Linux and Mac OSX)
- Debian package manager (Linux only)
Conda is a cross-platform, user-space package manager aimed at simplifying the installation of open source software. The Cyclus project uses Conda to distribute pre-built Cyclus and Cycamore binaries.
The Debian package manager simplifies the installation of open-source software. It contains all of the files required to use specific software, as well as variety of relevant information: maintainer, description, version, dependencies (other software or libraries required to use it). The Cyclus team provides pre-built Cyclus and Cycamore Debian packages to simplify installation for the user. These packages are available for LTS Ubuntu version 14.04 and 16.04 (though they may also work on other Linux systems).
- If you don't have Conda, start by installing the Python 3.x version of Anaconda (or miniconda for a more lightweight choice) to prepare it for Cyclus.
Once you have Conda installed, installing Cyclus straightforward.
$ conda install -c conda-forge cyclus
This installation procedure assumes that you are using Ubuntu (LTS) 14.04 or 16.04. This method has only been tested on those Ubuntu versions. This installation procedure also assumes that you have root access to you computer.
Install Cyclus dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install libtcmalloc-minimal4 libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-serialization-dev libhdf5-dev libxml++2.6-dev coinor-libcbc-dev
WARNING: This dependency list is ONLY correct for the debian binary installation, additional dependencies are required to install from source. If you need/want more information about dependency installation please read the dependency installation documentation.
