Installation¶
This tutorial will walk you through the process of building MeshPy. To follow, you really only need three basic things:
A UNIX-like machine with web access.
A C++ compiler, preferably a Version 4.x gcc.
A working Python installation.
Step 1: Download and unpack MeshPy¶
Download MeshPy and unpack it:
$ tar xfz MeshPy-VERSION.tar.gz
If you’re downloading from git, say:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/inducer/meshpy.git
If your version of git doesn’t support –recursive, then say:
$ git clone https://github.com/inducer/meshpy.git
$ cd meshpy
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
The setup script will remind you about this if you forget.
Step 2: Build MeshPy¶
Just type:
$ cd MeshPy-VERSION # if you're not there already
$ ./configure
$ python setup.py install
Once that works, congratulations! You’ve successfully built MeshPy.
Step 3: Test MeshPy¶
Just type:
$ cd test
$ py.test
