Installing required libraries on Mac OS X
=========================================
This installation guide has been tried on Mountain Lion. It may work for older
versions of Mac OS X but previous versions of Mac OS X are not supported.
NB: The installation of TRIQS under previous versions of OS X requires installing clang (via Xcode).
(On Mountain Lion, clang (llvm) replaces gcc 4.2 as the default C++ compiler).
We strongly recommend the following installation procedure, which provides a clean way to set up all dependencies, so that all
of them are compatible with each other. Only the installation via homebrew is supported for the Mac.
Installation of the dependencies
--------------------------------
1. Install `homebrew <http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/>`_.
Run ``brew doctor`` and resolve potential conflicts before continuing.
2. Install XCode (directly from the Mac store). In Preferences/Downloads, install "Command Line tools".
3. Install several packages which are needed: ::
brew install cmake
brew install gfortran
brew install --enable-cxx hdf5
brew install gsl
brew install fftw
brew install open-mpi
brew install zmq
brew install python
brew install doxygen
#AFTER THE FIX IN BOOST AND BREW : IN PROGRESS
#brew install boost --without-single --with-mpi --with-c++11
4. Now install virtualenv: ::
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv mypython
Using virtualenv provides a clean way to set up a different python environment for each user.
The first line in the instructions above installs the package and the second creates the virtual
environment, which is created in ``$HOME/mypython``.
Make sure to permanently add (prepend) ``$HOME/mypython/bin`` to your path by adding ::
export PATH = $HOME/mypython/bin:$PATH
to your ``.bashrc file`` (assuming bash). Within a new shell, check that
which python
which pip
which easy_install
yield the ones located in ``$HOME/mypython``.
5. Install the required python packages: ::
pip install numpy
pip install h5py
pip install scipy
pip install mpi4py
pip install matplotlib
#pip install git+https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git#egg=matplotlib-dev
pip install tornado
pip install pyzmq
pip install jinja2
pip install ipython
pip install cython
6. If you wish to compile the documentation locally, install sphinx, its dependencies and mathjax: ::
pip install sphinx
easy_install pyparsing==1.5.7
git clone git://github.com/mathjax/MathJax.git MathJax
NB : you need pyparsing <=1.5.7 since apparently v.2.0 works only for python 3.
7. Download the latest `sources of boost <http://www.boost.org/users/download/>`_ and untar them into a directory ``BOOST_SRC``.
Possible issues
---------------
If you encounter the following error: ::
/usr/local/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory
in the installation of matplotlib, you need to pass the proper include path. Locate the freetype directory
with the header file and pass the include path through ``CPPFLAGS``: ::
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/X11/include/freetype2/ pip install git+https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git#egg=matplotlib-dev
