This wiki summarizes the different steps needed for installing MDANSE from source on ubuntu focal (20.04). It tries to install the less as possible dependencies on the system using pip as much as possible.

Prerequesites:

  • python2 installed on the system
  • gcc, g++ installed

First install NetCDF alongside with its headers:

  • sudo apt install libnetcdf-dev
  • sudo updatedb

Then install wxPython from source:

  • Pick up the latest wxPython 3 (3.0.2) source tarball here
  • tar xvjf wxPython-src-3.0.2.0.tar.bz2
  • cd wxPython-src-3.0.2.0
  • ./configure
  • make -j8
  • sudo make install

This will install wxPython 3 under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk3/wx directory.

Setup the virtual environment for MDANSE:

  • virtualenv -p python2 ~/venvs/mdanse --copies
  • source ~/venvs/mdanse/bin/activate

  • pip install vtk
  • ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk3/wx ~/venvs/mdanse/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx
