Usage / Virtualenv
SfePy is a very tricky piece of software. It requires multiple other libraries for its diverent modules. Experience has shown it is best used in its own python virtualenvironment.
Preparation of the Virtualenv
Packages to install by pip
simple pip packages
cython
numpy
scipy
sympy
matplotlib
mpi4py - requires module load mpi
h5py
pymetis
pyparsing
scikit-umfpack
tables
scikit-umfpack
ez-setup (breaking build of SfePy shows no sign that this package is neeeded, but it is)
not that simple packages
petsc4py
Petsc4Py can be installed from pip. The installation shows some errors. Petsc missing, but it is build. And the resulting python packages are working.
FiPy
FiPy can be installed with pip without any problems after installing all the packages above.
SfePy at least
SfePy is installed from source.
git clone git://github.com/sfepy/sfepy.git
In case you wish to use a specific release instead of the latest master version, use: git tag -l
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
python setup.py install
not used packages
PySparse
PySparse can be installed from pip or from source, neither is working easily with newer glibc versions. It is possible from source with some CFLAGS. Sadly to say, working parameters are not documented (only known to Mr. Wu)
git clone git://pysparse.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pysparse/pysparse
Mayavi
If Mayavi is needed, the Virtualenv has to be build with –system-site-packages. I've found no way (dependencies) to install it in an system independent virtualenv.
Result / Tests
To test the instalation SfePy provides a test-script.
python run_tests.py
98 test file(s) executed in 195.82 s, 3 failure(s) of 165 test(s)
