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 have a script (tools/install_ubuntu.sh) which will run through the installation process.

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.

Check Installation

To check the installation run the over 1200 unit tests (which should take 5 - 10 minutes) via:

python runtests.py

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.

What Next

Have a look at the examples in the directory anuga_core/examples and the user_manual in the anuga_core/doc directory 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
