Installing current version of ANUGA research code on Ubuntu 14.04

Install Subversion

We need subversion (or git) to install anuga.

Use apt-get to install subversion via

sudo apt-get install subversion

Install anuga

Now from your home directory, use subversion to download the anuga source via

svn checkout https://anuga.anu.edu.au/svn/anuga/trunk/anuga_core anuga_core

We need to install a fairly large number of packages, but we a script (tools/install_ubuntu.sh) which will run through the installation process for you.

Change into the newly downloaded anuga_core directory and run the installation script (this will take 5 to 10 minutes depending on your network connection)

cd anuga_core
bash tools/install_ubuntu.sh

If all has been successful then anuga should be installed.

To check the installation run the unit tests via:

python runtests.py

Conclusion

Hopefully all the unit tests pass. As this is bleeding edge there are sometimes a small number of failures as this is a work in progress. Have a look at the demos in the directory anuga_core/documentation/user_manual/demos (along with the user manual) to see how to use anuga.

Updating

From time to time you should update your version of anuga. This is fairly easy. From your anuga_core directory update the anuga code via the subversion command

svn update

Then again from the anuga_core directory build and install the code and check the unit tests via

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
python runtests.py
