Installation of the course

To get started with the course, you have two options. Depending on whether you already have DuMu^x installed or not, choose the one that fits your needs.

Install DuMu^x together with the course

The easiest way to install everything you need is to use the install scripts provided in DuMu^x, for instance, with this sequence of commands:

wget https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/raw/master/bin/installdumux.py
python3 installdumux.py --dumux-version master --dune-version 2.9
cd dumux
python3 dumux/bin/installexternal.py dumux-course --dumux-branch master --dune-branch releases/2.9
./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol bexec rm -r CMakeFiles CMakeCache.txt
./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --opts=./dumux/cmake.opts all

If you don't have wget and don't want to install it, you can just manually download the installdumux.py script from the git repository.

Install the course into your existing DuMu^x project

If you already have an installation of DuMu^x, navigate to your DuMu^x root directory and then run the following commands:

python3 dumux/bin/installexternal.py dumux-course
./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --opts=./dumux/cmake.opts all

This will download and then configure the course repository using dunecontrol. After this, you can start with the exercises.

Requirements

For a successful installation and the execution of all exercises, the following software packages are needed:

• gcc >= 7
• cmake >= 3.13
• git
• pkg-config
• paraview (to visualize the results)
• gnuplot (to plot some curves)
• wget (to download some config files during the installation)

For some excercises you might need UMFPack. UMFPack can be installed via Suitesparse. For instance on Ubuntu use apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev.
