LINUX: Install using deb packages

Using deb packages (based on GNU/Linux Debian distribution) is one of the easiest way to install LPMD in your personal computer. We suggest that for large-scale simulations and/or analysis you should compile the code in order to optimize it based in your computer architecture.

Go to Downloads section and  download the packages and then you can easily install with these steps :

  1. decompress the tgz with all packages 
    tar -xvzf lpmdXX.tar.gz
  2. Install each package separatelly, we suggest start with the liblpmd package 
    dpkg -i liblpmd*.deb
dpkg -i *.deb
  3. Check your installation 
    lpmd --version

If you have any issue with the installation using this technique, please do not hesitate to contact us.

LINUX: Installing from source packages

Installation of LPMD from the source code instead of deb packages is recommended, as performance can be achieved using the right compilers, based on your computer architecture. The first step is to  download and decompress the source package:

  1. Decompress the source package 
    tar xvf lpmdtgz.tar.gz
  2. Decompress each one individually 
    tar xvf liblpmd-0.6.4.tgz
tar xvf plugins-0.6.4.tgz
tar xvf lpmd-0.6.4.tgz
Setup and compile

To setup, each package should be set up individually, but using the same settings.

Setup and compile

You should repeat this procedure for each folder, we suggest start with the liblpmd (API) folder and finish with lpmd (executables) folder.

cd folder
./setup --intel --openmp 
make
sudo make install
cd ../
Additional setup opts and check install

Setup Options

There is a set of different options that you can (or can’t) use in the setup process.

  • –intel : USe the intel compilers instead of GNU/Compilers.
  • –openmp : Enable the use of openmp in some parts of the code (speed up for multi-core systems)
  • –prefix : Specify a different location to install the code (typically used for non-root installation)
  • –sufix : An additional name for the final executable (instead of use lpmd, you will have lpmd-”suffix”).

Check your installation

To check your installation just run : lpmd --version
Download from GitHub

INSTRUCTIONS FOR Mac OS X

After downloading the source code, go to the directory where your packages are.

 

Install brew

We will follow the instructions from https://www.topbug.net/blog/2013/04/14/install-and-use-gnu- command-line-tools-in-mac-os-x/

To install run in a terminal :

>> ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)” Edit your ~/.bashrc file (with any editor), and add these lines: 

export PATH="$(brew --prefix coreutils)/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/Users/yourusername/local/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/yourusername/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/yourusername/local/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/yourusername/local/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"

Now create the folder : mkdir ~/local

And load your bashrc file with : source ~/.bashrc

Check that you have the command ginstall : ginstall –v

Compiling lpmd

Go to the liblpmd-2.0.4/ folder and then:
1.- Edit the setup file and change the line 10 :
defaultInstall = ‘install’ -> defaultInstall = ‘ginstall’ 2.- Edit the packagesetup file and change line 21 :

linker = g++ -> linker = g++ -dynamiclib

Run setup using : ./setup –prefix=/Users/yourusername/local

Check your installation

To check your installation just run : lpmd --version

Compile and install: 

make
make install

Go to plugins folder: 

cd ../plugins-0.6.4/

Run setup using: ./setup –prefix=/Users/yourusername/local

Compile and install: 

make
make install

Go to lpmd folder: 

cd ../lpmd-0.6.4/

Run setup using: ./setup –prefix=/Users/yourusername/local

Compile and install: 

make
make install

Finally check that you have the command lpmd : lpmd –version
