This guide will help the user understand how to compile, install, and use DP Code on their own Ubuntu workstation. If you are using another platform, please refer to the appropriate documentation or contact Benjamin Alldritt for assistance.

Step-by-step guide

Requirements

To compile DP-Code, you will need the following software:

• Fortran compiler (gfortran)
• C compiler (GCC)
• MPI
• FFTW
• LAPACK
• BLAS

Instructions

Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit)

1. Install the required packages:

   sudo apt-get install gfortran libfftw3-dev liblapack-dev libblas-dev libmpich2-dev

2. Download the latest version of the DP Code source and unpack into a new directory.

   mkdir ${HOME}/software
   mkdir ${HOME}/software/dp-code
   cd ${HOME}/software/dp-code
   wget http://etsf.grenoble.cnrs.fr/dp/license/download/dp-5.3.tgz
   tar -xvzf dp-5.3.tar.gz
   cd dp-5.3

3. Configure DP Code for the local machine.

   ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/software/dp-code --with-gfortran-endianness=big --enable-mpi --with-fftw3=/usr

4. Compile DP Code.

   make
   make install

5. Run DP Code after the tests pass.

   cd ${HOME}/software/dp-code
   ./dp
