Installation Guide¶

To get setup with nn4mc we first need the following dependencies:

HDF5, pickle or the preferred library depending on the source
Boost
g++
cmake
json

Get all Dependencies in One Step¶

Go to the scripts/ folder and type:

Linux¶

./scripts/setup_linux_mint.sh

MacOS¶

./scripts/setup_macos.sh

HDF5¶

Installing HDF5 >=1.10.4 from conda¶

If you are a conda user, the simplest way to obtain a version of hdf5 that is stable across platforms is using conda. The command to type is:

conda install -c anaconda hdf5

Installing HDF5 < 1.8.16 from HDF5 Group¶

This is a more manual installation. This installation will lead a very stable Linux parsing in HDF5, but leads to some compatibility problems for MacOS. Go to this website: HDF5 Group or type:

wget http://h5cpp.org/download/hdf5-1.10.4.tar.gz

Untar the file as in :

tar -xvzf hdf5-1.10.4.tar.gz

Configure the files as in:

cd hdf5-1.10.4 && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make -j2 && sudo make install

Then download the deb files:

wget http://h5cpp.org/download/h5cpp_1.10.4.1_amd64.deb

Then type:

sudo dpkg -i h5cpp_1.10.4.1_amd64.deb

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

sudo ln -s libhdf5_serial.so.8.0.2 libhdf5.so
sudo ln -s libhdf5_serial_hl.so.8.0.2 libhdf5_hl.so

Installing the boost library¶

From Linux:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

From MacOS:

brew install boost

Installing nlohmann/json¶

Go back to nn4mc and go to the lib/ folder.

git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json nlohmann_json
