A complete list of dependencies
==================================
TRIQS is built upon several python and C++ libraries, which, if not present already in your system, can be freely downloaded and installed.
All the libraries and tools used by TRIQS are listed in the table :
================== ================ ================================================================================
Libraries/tools Version Comment
================== ================ ================================================================================
mpi e.g., openmpi Parallelism
Since standard linux distributions (and macports on OS X)
now provides openmpi, even on laptops, we avoid the unnecessary complication
of maintaining a non parallel version of TRIQS
fftw >= 3.2 Fourier transform
boost >= 1.49 C++ librairies
hdf5 >= 1.8.0 File storage system. Important: the *serial* version must be installed
python* >= 2.6.5
scipy* python mathematical library
numpy* python scientific library
h5py* python interface to hdf5 library
sphinx* >= 1.0.1 python documentation tools (to compile documentation)
pyparsing* Tool for sphinx (to compile documentation)
matplotlib* >= 0.99 python 2D plotting library
cython >=0.17 [DEVELOPERS ONLY]
================== ================ ================================================================================
\* designates the libraries included in the Enthought python distribution.
C++11
--------
The current version of TRIQS use the new C++11 standard, and therefore require a recent C++ compiler.
Tested compilers include :
* g++ 4.6.3, 4.7
* clang++ 3.1
* icc 13.0
Note that older compilers will *never* be supported for current and future version of TRIQS.
Older releases may accept older compilers.
F90
-------
For the Wien2TRIQS interface only.
Tested compilers include :
* ifort
* gfortran
Boost
--------------------------
The boost library is often upgraded, and it is rare to have the correct version in your distribution. TRIQS installation process offers two choices :
* Recommended choice: As explained in the :ref:`page above <installation>`, you can download simply the latest *sources* and TRIQS will do all the job for you by compiling the pieces of boost that are needed in a little boost_for_triqs library.
* OR you can include and link with an installed boost if the version if high enough as discussed in :ref:`install_options`.
