Installation of Dune from binary packages on Linux systems
Linux distributions offer various Dune modules as binary packages for convenient download
and installation. For example, the table on this page shows the packaging status
of dune-common
in different distributions.
You can expect the other core modules dune-geometry
, dune-grid
, dune-localfunctions
, and
dune-istl
to be packaged in the same version.
If you want to use the C++ interface, or if you want to mix binary packages and modules built from source, then you need to read about how to build Dune from source.
Package details
The precise naming of the packages differs between distributions.
For example, in Debian-based distributions, the packages are called
libdune-foo-dev
, where foo
is a module name like for example
common
, grid
, geometry
, istl
, or localfunctions
.
A complete list of Debian packages
is available.
For development, you may also want the corresponding debug symbols,
which Debian ships in separate packages ending with -dbgsym
.
Offline documentation is available in the libdune-foo-doc
packages and installed to /usr/share/doc/libdune-foo-doc/doxygen/index.html
.
Installing Dune core modules
To now install the core Dune on a Debian-based system run the following command:
sudo apt install libdune-grid-dev libdune-istl-dev libdune-localfunctions-dev
This will install the entire set of Dune core modules – the ones not explicitly listed will still be installed, because they are dependencies of the others.
We recommend you also install the packages from the staging
set:
sudo apt install libdune-uggrid-dev libdune-functions-dev
Helping with packaging
If you want to help with the Debian packaging, you can download the packaging information
for (for example) dune-common
by
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/dune-common.git
