Clone from https://bitbucket.org/solvcon/solvcon:

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/solvcon/solvcon

SOLVCON needs the following packages: gcc 4.3+ (clang on OSX works as well), Python 2.7/3.4, six 1.10.0, Cython 0.16+, Numpy 1.5+, LAPACK, NetCDF 4+, SCOTCH 6.0+, Nose 1.0+, Paramiko 1.14+, boto 2.29.1+, gmsh 2.5+, and VTK 5.6+.

A script at contrib/conda.sh is provided to install the dependency with Anaconda.

The following command builds and installs SOLVCON:

$ python setup.py install

After installed you can run the unit tests:

$ python -c 'import solvcon as sc; sc.test()'

Additional build and tests:

• Building document requires Sphinx 1.3.1+, pstake 0.3.4+, Sphinxcontrib issue tracker 0.11, and graphviz 2.28+. Once the binary of SOLVCON is built, the following commands can build the document:

  $ cd doc
  $ make html

  The built document will be available at doc/build/html/.

• When building SOLVCON locally:

  $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace

  You can run unit tests with Nose:

  $ nosetests

• Another set of tests are collected in ftests/ directory, and can be run with:

  $ nosetests ftests/*

  Some tests in ftests/ involve remote procedure call (RPC) that uses ssh. You need to set up the public key authentication to properly run them.
