For building LAMA on your system please consider the installation requirements below and install required packages.

A description on how to build LAMA is given afterwards or refer to our homepage www.libama.org --> Documentation --> Installation

Required:

• CMake >= 2.8.8
• C/C++ compiler (OpenMP 3.0, support of C++11 mandatory)

Recommended:

• BLAS- and LAPACK-Library (Intel MKL, BLAS)
• Nvidia GPU: CUDA >= 7.0 (with cuBLAS, cuSPARSE)
• MPI
• Boost-Library tests (unit-test-framework), Version 1.61 or higher

Optional:

• Metis/ParMetis
• Java
• Sphinx for the user documentation
• Doxygen for the system documentation

extract tar.gz and change into folder $ tar -xzvf libama-x.x.x.tar.gz $ cd libama-x.x.x

create a build directory and change to it $ mkdir $ cd

configure cmake by giving the install prefix and pointing to the LAMA-src dir: $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path/to/install/dir> [optional options] ../scai

You can give cmake some hints where to find recommended/optional software either by setting environment variables or by passing variables to cmake.

$ export METIS=ROOT=<metis_installation_directory>
$ export PARMETIS_ROOT=<parmetis_installation_directory>
$ export BOOST_ROOT=<...>
$ export MKL_ROOT=<...>
$ export MPI_HOME=<...>
$ cmake [ -DMETIS_ROOT=<metis_installation_director>  -DPARMETIS_ROOT=<..> ...] ....

start the build and installation process by running make (optionally in parallel):

$ make [-j <num_processes>]

If the Boost unit-test framework is available you can run the tests as follows:

$ make check

you can build the system doc (doxygen documentation) and the user doc (sphinx) as follows:

$ make doc

You can view the documentation by calling the browser with the start file LAMA.html.

$ <browser> doc/LAMA.html

If the build was successful, you can install the LAMA software. You have to make sure that you have access rights for the installation directory.

$ [sudo] make install
