my installation of pymks

install-pymks.md

OS: Linux Mint 17.2

Using Anaconda Distribution Python

---

The following worked for installation of pymks.

This walks through setting up sfepy as well

Necessary libaries

sudo apt-get install gfortan gcc
sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev

Conda installs

conda install cython pysparsing pytables mayavi mpi4py

Pip installs

For igakit

pip install https://bitbucket.org/dalcinl/igakit/get/default.tar.gz

For metis

pip install metis

For scikit-umfpack

pip install scikit-umfpack

setup.py installs

For pysparse Download source code (in this case v. 1.1.1)

cd pysparse-1.1.1
python setup.py install

Checking pysparse install

cd Test
python test_superlu.py
python testSuperlu.py

Both should all pass and read ok

Finally sfepy as per pymks install procedure

git clone git://github.com/sfepy/sfepy.git
cd sfepy
python setup.py install

Final output will show:

cython is available in version 0.23
numpy is available in version 1.9.2
scipy is available in version 0.15.1
matplotlib is available in version 1.4.3
pyparsing is available in version 2.0.3

Note: I could not set up petsc4py

Now install pymks

pip install pymks

Rebuild scipy

conda install scipy

(in order to get umf compatible)

python -c "import pymks; pymks.test()"

Output should be:
