If you have no idea what is linux and how to run yade at all, check out the step-by-step guide: New to linux?
For an almost copy/paste installation instructions specific to your linux distribution see below.

[edit] Download
[edit] Release
Go to launchpad download page for released tarballs.
(Historical files: yade-0.12.1.tar.bz2 and yade-examples-0.11.0.tar.gz)
[edit] Latest BZR snapshot
If you want to look at the latest yade version from Launchpad, you can download it using one of the ways shown below:
bzr checkout lp:yade
Which one of those above will work depends on your network and firewall configuration.
Also check out a Quick Bazaar tutorial.
[edit] Prerequistes
All libraries listed below must be installed with development headers. It's better to install them using your linux's distribution package management system, instead of downloading directly from the website.
[edit] Required packages
- boost library 1.34 or later with components: date-time, filesystem, thread, regex, algorithm, foreach
- qt3 library, including multithreading (-mt) component
- freeglut3 / libglut3 development files
- make
- g++ (other compilers will most likely not work; you need g++>=4.2 for openMP support)
- sqlite3
- scons build system
[edit] Optional packages
- Ctags
- Doxygen
- wildmagic 3.11 ─ only if you want Delaunay triangulation support in lattice model
- log4cxx ─ only if you want extensive logging support and debugging
- python-dev, python-scientific, python-numeric ─ only if you want python scripting interface (you need boost 1.34)
[edit] Recommended installation method
Run this command from inside yade-0.12/ directory to install yade as a local user without root privileages:
scons PREFIX=/home/username/YADE optimize=1
(If you have a machine that you are the only user on, you can instead change permission on /usr/local sudo chown username: /usr/local and still use default paths without special priviledges).
Replace username with your user name. Also check out scons options to quickly compile debug version or systemwide install from debian package (as a root user), etc.
[edit] Generating Doxygen files
If you want to get the latest Doxygen documentation, you just need to do the next:
cd trunk scons doc
Be sure Doxygen and python-pygraphviz are installed.
You can take generated files in ./trunk/doc/doxygen/html/index.html
[edit] Distribution-specific instructions
Installation on other systems is described on separate pages. If you happen to install on a system not listed here, please add your description here
