| − | Installing Code_Saturne 1.4b on

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This are some notes on installing ''Code_Saturne 1.4b'' on a Ubuntu 8.04
| + | |
| − | system.
| + | |
| − | I'll try to make the procedure as generic as possible, so | + | |
| − | anyone with any Linux-system can use it. It provides a good basic
| + | |
| − | ''Code_ Saturne'' install that supports most options.
| + | |
| − | ''Code_ Saturne'' is highly configurable - but we won't go there in this document.
| + | |
| − | This install-guide requires next to no experience to follow.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Other more detailed documents can be found or will be created in the
| + | |
| − | near future.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It is created with the help of David Monfort of the ''Code_ Saturne'' development
| + | |
| − | team and www.CAELinux.com forum, who has been surprisingly patient with me.
| + | |
| − | Always check the documentation before resorting to violence.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ***For ubuntu 8.10 you have to manually install Metis-4.0 (see how CGNS is installed) since metis on 8.10 is a wrapper for SCOTCH and wont work properly.

| − | == Preparing the system. ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Using the package manager on your system, you can install the optional/dependant
| + | |
| − | libraries rather than doing a manual install.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Here's a list of needed libraries for this install - some might be
| + | |
| − | installed by default on your system:
| + | |
| − | • libmedc1
| + | |
| − | • libmedc-dev
| + | |
| − | • libhdf5-serial
| + | |
| − | • libhdf5-serial-dev
| + | |
| − | • libopenmpi1
| + | |
| − | • libopenmpi-dev
| + | |
| − | • libxml2
| + | |
| − | • libxml2-dev
| + | |
| − | • Zlib
| + | |
| − | • Tcl/Tk/Tix
| + | |
| − | • Python
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now, please note that ''libhdf5-serial'' is not the same as ''libhdf5-mpich/LAM''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This simple command in Ubuntu, installs the needed libraries:
| + | |
| − | claus@claus-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install libopenmpi-dev
| + | |
| − | libmedc-dev libxml2-dev libparmetis-dev libhdf5-serial-dev
| + | |
| − | gfortran tix
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This should take care of most business - '''cgns''' has to be installed manually:
| + | |
| − | tar zxf cgnslib_2.5-3.tar.gz && cd cgnslib_2.5/ && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
| + | |

| − | == Installing Code_Saturne 1.4b ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I am installing ''Code_Saturne'' in ''/home/user/code_saturne'', but it does
| + | |
| − | not matter where you put it.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Creating the folders (assuming you are in ''home/user/'' ):
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | mkdir code_saturne
| + | |
| − | mkdir code_saturne/Enveloppe - extract '''ecs-14a.tgz''' here
| + | |
| − | mkdir code_saturne/Interface - extract '''ics-14a.tgz''' here
| + | |
| − | mkdir code_saturne/Noyau - extract '''ncs-14b.tgz''' here, '''patch-ncs-14b_080909.tgz''' should be extracted here as well
| + | |
| − | mkdir code_saturne/src - '''bft-107.tgz''' and '''fvm-0110.tgz''' is extracted here
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Next you should extract the '''install.tgz''' in ''code_saturne/'' creating ''Install/''
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | So far so good.
| + | |
| − | �
| + | |
| − | - go to the directory $INSTALLPATH/Noyau/ncs-x.y.z/bin
| + | |
| − | - open the cs_profile file and set the following variables:
| + | |
| − | CS_HOME -> home directory of the Kernel
| + | |
| − | ECS_HOME -> home directory of the Preprocessor
| + | |
| − | CSGUI_HOME -> home directory of the
| + | |
| − | GUI SYRCS_HOME -> home directory of the library used for coupling
| + | |
| − | with the SYRTHES solid thermal code
| + | |
| − | - source the cs_profile to set the environment variables
| + | |
| − | properly (usually type ". ./cs_profile") (in the
| + | |
| − | $INSTALLPATH/Noyau/ncs-x.y.z/bin folder)
| + | |
| − | �
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Edit ''code_saturne/Install/setup'' with your favorite editor and change
| + | |
| − | (the first one in the row) '''no''' to '''yes''' on the libraries you want to be
| + | |
| − | used with ''Code_Saturne'' - ''metis, med, hdf, openmpi'' (for parallel processing)
| + | |
| − | are good places to start.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Next edit ''code_saturne/Noyau/ncs-1.4b/bin/macros.Linux.mk'' (or ''macros_Linux_x86_64.mk''
| + | |
| − | if you are on a 64bit system etc.)to suit your needs - here you change
| + | |
| − | the root of your ''code_saturne'' folder etc. Likewise check the path
| + | |
| − | and switch (1 or 0) for other libraries. OpenMPI in Ubuntu is for
| + | |
| − | example found in ''/usr/lib/openmpi'' and consider experimenting with Atlas
| + | |
| − | later.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Launching the install-script ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once done with the preparation, enter the ''Install/'' folder and type
| + | |
| − | '''python install_saturne.py '''. Lean back and say a silent prayer. The
| + | |
| − | script should now build and install the required modules into ''/home/user/code_saturne''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Notes:
| + | |
| − | • Consult the readme.txt (''Install/'') if you encounter problems -
| + | |
| − | or visit the forum on CAELinux.com - It is the most active Code_saturne
| + | |
| − | forum at the moment
| + | |
| − | • I had to install extra latex-packages during the install-script
| + | |
| − | (texlive)
| + | |
| − | • After installing is done and you sourced the cs_profile correctly,
| + | |
| − | you should be able to create a study with cs_create -study studyname
| + | |
| − | - otherwise return to start, rinse and repeat. Most errors are
| + | |
| − | (somewhat) easily traced, others require the forum at http://www.caelinux.com
| + | |
| − | - now go and have fun :)
