YADE installation for beginners. Ubuntu (natty)

Hi Vadim,

1) download a tarball from
https://yade-dem.org/source/yade_latest_trunk.tgz<https://yade-dem.org/source/yade_latest_trunk.tgz>
2) unpack it

follow https://yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html
it means:
3) install needed packages with

sudo apt-get install scons freeglut3-dev libloki-dev \
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \
libboost-iostreams-dev liblog4cxx10-dev python-dev libboost-python-dev ipython \
python-matplotlib libsqlite3-dev python-numeric python-tk gnuplot doxygen \
libgts-dev python-pygraphviz libvtk5-dev python-scientific bzr
bzrtools libeigen2-dev \
binutils-gold python-xlib python-qt4 pyqt4-dev-tools \
libqglviewer-qt4-dev python-imaging libjs-jquery python-sphinx

4) in terminal change directory to yade (created from unpacking the
tarball), and run
scons version=trunk features=openmp,opengl,gts,log4cxx,vtk,qt4

it could work now and create yade-trunk executable in /usr/local/bin/ .. if
it has problems to find eigen library, ask to the forum again :-)
good luck
Jan

I'll try to follow Anton's advise

=======================================================================
                           INSTALLATION FROM PACKAGES (YADE-DAILY)
=======================================================================

1. Download prerequisities (other programs needed for proper work of YADE).
Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy/paste the prerequisites [1]:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install scons freeglut3-dev libloki-dev \
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \
libboost-iostreams-dev liblog4cxx10-dev python-dev libboost-python-dev ipython \
python-matplotlib libsqlite3-dev python-numeric python-tk gnuplot doxygen \
libgts-dev python-pygraphviz libvtk5-dev python-scientific bzr bzrtools libeigen2-dev \
binutils-gold python-xlib python-qt4 pyqt4-dev-tools \
libqglviewer-qt4-dev python-imaging libjs-jquery python-sphinx
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you'll need to enter you password (you chose it during Ubuntu installation, your own password for Ubuntu) and download up to 600 MB of archives

2. To install yade-daily copy/paste in terminal the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yade-pkg/snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yade-daily
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for me the installation passed quickly

3. To start yade type in terminal:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yade-daily
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next appeared in terminal:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**********************************************************************
Welcome to IPython. I will try to create a personal configuration directory
where you can customize many aspects of IPython's functionality in:

/home/vadim/.ipython
Initializing from configuration: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/UserConfig

Successful installation!

Please read the sections 'Initial Configuration' and 'Quick Tips' in the
IPython manual (there are both HTML and PDF versions supplied with the
distribution) to make sure that your system environment is properly configured
to take advantage of IPython's features.

Important note: the configuration system has changed! The old system is
still in place, but its setting may be partly overridden by the settings in
"~/.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py" config file. Please take a look at the file
if some of the new settings bother you.

Please press <RETURN> to start IPython.

I pressed RETURN and saw this:
