|
||

[](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/trexio/actions/workflows/actions.yml)
|
||
|
||
|
||
TREX library for efficient I/O.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Minimal requirements (for users):
|
||
|
||
- Autotools (autoconf >= 2.69, automake >= 1.11, libtool >= 2.2) or CMake (>= 3.16)
|
||
- C compiler (gcc/icc/clang)
|
||
- Fortran compiler (gfortran/ifort)
|
||
- HDF5 library (>= 1.8) [optional, recommended for high performance]
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure from the tarball (for users):
|
||
|
||
1. Download the `trexio-<version>.tar.gz` file
|
||
2. `gzip -cd trexio-<version>.tar.gz | tar xvf -`
|
||
3. `cd trexio-<version>`
|
||
4. `./configure`
|
||
5. `make`
|
||
6. `make check`
|
||
7. `sudo make install`
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Note: on systems with no `sudo` access, one can replace `./configure` with `./configure prefix=${PWD}/build` in order to execute `make install/uninstall` commands without `sudo` privileges.**
|
||
|
||
**Note: when linking against an MPI-enabled HDF5 library one usually has to specify the MPI wrapper for the C compiler by adding, e.g., `CC=mpicc` to the `./configure` command.**
|
||
|
||
## Additional requirements (for developers):
|
||
|
||
- python3 (>= 3.6)
|
||
- Emacs (>= 26.0)
|
||
- SWIG (>= 4.0) [required for the Python API]
|
||
|
||
**Note:** The source code is auto-generated from the Emacs org-mode (`.org`) files following the literate programming approach. This is why the `src` directory is initially empty.
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure from the GitHub repo clone (for developers):
|
||
|
||
1. `git clone https://github.com/TREX-CoE/trexio.git`
|
||
2. `cd trexio`
|
||
3. `./autogen.sh`
|
||
4. `./configure`
|
||
5. `make`
|
||
6. `make check`
|
||
7. `sudo make install`
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure for CMake users (from the tarball or GitHub repo clone):
|
||
|
||
The aforementioned instructions rely on [Autotools](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Autotools-Introduction.html) build system.
|
||
[CMake](https://cmake.org) users can achieve the same with the following steps (an example of out-of-source build):
|
||
|
||
1. `cmake -S. -Bbuild`
|
||
2. `cd build`
|
||
3. `make`
|
||
4. `ctest` (or `make test`)
|
||
5. `sudo make install`
|
||
|
||
**Note: on systems with no `sudo` access, one can add `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=build` as an argument to the `cmake` command so that `make install/uninstall` can be run without `sudo` privileges.**
|
||
|
||
**Note: when linking against an MPI-enabled HDF5 library one usually has to specify the MPI wrapper for the C compiler by adding, e.g., `-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=mpicc` to the `cmake` command.**
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure for conda users
|
||
|
||
[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/trexio)
|
||
[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/trexio)
|
||
|
||
The official releases of TREXIO `>2.0.0` are also available via the `conda-forge` channel.
|
||
The pre-compiled stable binaries of `trexio` can be installed as follows:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
conda install trexio -c conda-forge
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
More details can be found in the corresponding [trexio-feedstock](https://github.com/conda-forge/trexio-feedstock).
|
||
Note that both parallel (see `mpi_openmpi` prefix) and serial (`nompi`) variants are provided.
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure for Guix users
|
||
|
||
The official releases of TREXIO `>=2.0.0` can be installed using the
|
||
[GNU Guix](https://guix.gnu.org) functional package manager.
|
||
The [trexio.scm](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/trexio/blob/master/tools/trexio.scm)
|
||
Schema file contains the manifest specification for the `trexio` package.
|
||
It can be installed as follows:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
guix package --cores=<n_cores> --install-from-file=trexio.scm
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure for Spack users
|
||
|
||
The official releases `>=2.0.0` and the development version of TREXIO can be installed using the
|
||
[Spack](https://spack.io/) package manager.
|
||
The [trexio/package.py](https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/trexio/package.py)
|
||
file contains the Spack specifications required to build different variants of `trexio` library.
|
||
It can be installed as follows
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
spack install --jobs <n_cores> trexio
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Installation procedure for Debian/Ubuntu users
|
||
|
||
The official release of TREXIO `2.2.0` is available as a Debian (`.deb`) package thanks to the [Debichem Team](https://wiki.debian.org/Debichem).
|
||
The source code is hosted [here](https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/libtrexio) and
|
||
the pre-built binary files are available via the [Debian package registry](https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libtrexio-dev).
|
||
|
||
TREXIO is also available on [Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)](https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/libtrexio-dev) and newer and can be installed as follows:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libtrexio-dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Compilation without the HDF5 library
|
||
|
||
By default, the configuration step proceeds to search for the [HDF5 library](https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/HDF5).
|
||
This search can be disabled if HDF5 is not present/installable on the user machine.
|
||
To build TREXIO without HDF5 back end, append `--without-hdf5` option to `configure` script or `-DENABLE_HDF5=OFF` option to `cmake`. For example,
|
||
|
||
- `./configure --without-hdf5`
|
||
- `cmake -S. -Bbuild -DENABLE_HDF5=OFF`
|
||
|
||
## Linking to your program
|
||
|
||
The `make install` command takes care of installing the TREXIO shared library on the user machine.
|
||
Once installed, add `-ltrexio` to the list of compiler options.
|
||
|
||
In some cases (e.g. when using custom `prefix` during configuration), the TREXIO library might end up installed in a directory, which is absent in the default `$LIBRARY_PATH`.
|
||
In order to link the program against TREXIO, the search paths can be modified as follows:
|
||
|
||
`export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:<path_to_trexio>/lib`
|
||
|
||
(same holds for `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`). The `<path_to_trexio>` has to be replaced by the prefix used during the installation.
|
||
|
||
If your project relies on CMake build system, feel free to use the
|
||
[FindTREXIO.cmake](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/trexio/blob/master/cmake/FindTREXIO.cmake)
|
||
module to find and link TREXIO library automatically.
|
||
|
||
In Fortran applications, make sure that the `trexio_f.f90` module file is included in the source tree.
|
||
You might have to manually copy it into your program source directory.
|
||
The `trexio_f.f90` module file can be found in the `include/` directory of the TREXIO source code distribution.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** there is no need to include `trexio.h` header file during compilation of Fortran programs.
|
||
Only the installed library and the Fortran module file are required.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Naming convention
|
||
|
||
The primary TREXIO API is composed of the following functions:
|
||
|
||
- `trexio_open`
|
||
- `trexio_write_[group]_[variable]`
|
||
- `trexio_read_[group]_[variable]`
|
||
- `trexio_has_[group]_[variable]`
|
||
- `trexio_close`
|
||
|
||
where `[group]` and `[variable]` substitutions correspond to the contents of the `trex.json` configuration file
|
||
(for more details, see the corresponding [documentation](https://trex-coe.github.io/trexio/trex.html) page).
|
||
For example, consider the `coord` variable (array), which belongs to the `nucleus` group. The TREXIO user can write or read it using `trexio_write_nucleus_coord` or `trexio_read_nucleus_coord` functions, respectively.
|
||
|
||
Note: the `[variable]` names have to be unique only within the corresponding parent `[group]`.
|
||
There is no naming conflict when, for example, `num` variable exists both in the `nucleus` group (i.e. the number of nuclei) and in the `mo` group (i.e. the number of molecular orbitals).
|
||
These quantities can be accessed using the corresponding `trexio_[has|read|write]_nucleus_num` and `trexio_[has|read|write]_mo_num`, respectively.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Python API
|
||
|
||
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/trexio)
|
||
|
||
For more details regarding the installation and usage of the TREXIO Python API,
|
||
see [this page](python/README.md).
|
||
|
||
The aforementioned instructions are adapted for users installing from the source code distribution (periodically updated).
|
||
In order to install the Python API with the latest changes, follow the developer installation guide and run the following command in the end
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
make python-install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Note: this implies that both HDF5 and SWIG are installed and available.
|
||
At the moment, it is not possible to configure the Python API without HDF5 library.**
|
||
|
||
We rely on the `pytest` package for unit testing. It can be installed via `pip install pytest`. To test the installation, run
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
make python-test
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
We highly recommend to use virtual environments to avoid compatibility issues and to improve reproducibility.
