magnum.fe requires the following software/libraries to be installed:

• dev-version of FEniCS
• dev-version of cbc.block
• gmsh >= 2.8.0 (headers and library)
• cmake

magnum.fe is tested with dolfin dev version from 10 June 2013 (1.2.x), but should also work with more recent versions.

The dev-version of FEniCS is best installed with dorsal (https://launchpad.net/dorsal).

bzr branch lp:dorsal
cd dorsal

Set STABLE_BUILD=false in the dorsal.cfg. Then run

./dorsal.sh

and follow the instructions.

The dev-version of cbc.block can be installed by checking out the current version from the launchpad repository

bzr branch lp:cbc.block
cd cbc.block
sudo python setup.py install

To build magenum.fe with cmake do

cd /path/to/magnum.fe
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Right now there is no install rule for make. There are however symlinks in the site-packages/magnumfe directory which point to the compiled swig wrapper code in the build directory. Thus you can use magnum.fe by adding the site-packages directory to your PYTHONPATH

export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/magnum.fe/site-packages

You can test your installation by running the unit tests

cd tests
python test.py
