Building via install.sh script in Bash terminal (macOS, Linux, MinGW, MSYS2, WSL)

  • The ParMonte library ships with a Bash script file named install.sh written in the Bash scripting language, located in the root directory of the ParaMonte repository.
  • This script is a convenience wrapper around the lower-level CMake build instructions below and automates most installation steps on Unix (Bash) terminals.
  • This is the recommended build mechanism on macOS and Linux systems.

Building via install.sh script in Bash terminal - quick start

Run the script install.sh on an Intel-aware Command Prompt for Windows as:

./install.sh --lang TARGET_LANAGUAGE

and to redirect the install.sh script output to a file named install.sh.out, try:

./install.sh --lang TARGET_LANAGUAGE > install.sh.out 2>&1

and to redirect and run the install.sh script in the background, try:

./install.sh --lang TARGET_LANAGUAGE > install.sh.out 2>&1 &

and to redirect and run the install.sh script and disown the process, try:

./install.sh --lang TARGET_LANAGUAGE > install.sh.out 2>&1 & jobs; disown

where you must replace TARGET_LANAGUAGE with your choice of programming language from which you intend to access the ParaMonte library. See the command-line configuration flag descriptions below for a list of supported programming languages and other build options.

Building via install.sh script in Bash terminal - prerequisites

You will need the following components installed on your PC to successfully run install.sh script.

  1. A recent version (>2018) installation of CMake build generator software.
    This application can be freely downloaded and installed.

  2. A recent C and Fortran compilers minimally supporting Fortran 2008.

    • GNU and Intel compilers are popular compiler choices for Linux systems.

    • GNU and NAG compilers are popular compiler choices for macOS systems.

      Although NAG is an excellent Fortran compiler choice, it is untested.

    • Two popular compiler choices for WSL, MSYS2, and MinGW Windows environments for systems are GNU and Intel compilers.

    • Building via Intel compilers requires a recent version (>2023) installation of Intel OneAPI and HPC Toolkits on your system.
      The Intel OneAPI can be freely downloaded and installed by anyone.

    • Building via GNU compilers requires a recent version (>10) installation of GNU C and Fortran compilers.

    • Building for MPI-parallelism requires either,

      • the Intel MPI library with Intel compilers, or
      • the MPICH MPI library with GNU compilers, or
      • the Open-MPI library with GNU compilers, or
      • the Microsoft MPI library with GNU compilers (on Windows).

  3. Once all the above components are installed, open a Windows CMD terminal that recognizes all applications installed above (that is, all applications can be found in the PATH environment variable).

  4. Navigate to the folder containing the ParaMonte repository on your system.

  5. Type install.sh with the desired build configuration flags. Example:

    ./install.sh --lang c

    ./install.sh --lang c --build release --par mpi --checking nocheck

    ./install.sh --lang c --build release --par "mpi;omp" --checking nocheck

    Check out install.config.md file for a full list of build configuration flags.
