Installation of AlmaBTE code on desktop or workstation computer

Installation of AlmaBTE on ubuntu

AlmaBTE installation requires boost library and hdf5 library.

Installation of Boost Library:

The Boost 1.64 version does not work with almaBTE when used with mpi option.

I have installed boost 1.62 version with the following procedure:

In the boost folder:

./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=all --prefix=/usr/local

echo "using mpi : mpic++ ; " >> project-config.jam

./b2 headers

sudo ./b2 -j install | tee install.log

Installation of HDF5 library (version 1.8.19)

In the HDF5 folder

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-fortran \ --enable-cxx FC=/usr/bin/gfortran CC=/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/bin/g++

make

sudo make install

make check

Installation of almaBTE

(Note: the newest version of cmake is recommended)

In the almaBTE folder,

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

[if cmake is unable to find boost libraries, then use the following ]

cmake .. -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/home/user/almabte/boost_1_62_0/include \ -DBOOST_ROOT=/home/user/almabte/boost_1_62_0

make all

make test

The output of cmake .. should look like :
