Requirement
- Install all necessary packages and libraries: git, qt4, tinyxml, hdf5 and boost.
For example on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or above:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libhdf5-dev libvtk5-dev libboost-all-dev libcgal-dev libtinyxml-dev libqt4-dev libvtk5-qt4-dev
Note for Ubuntu 16.04: Due to a bug in CGAL the package libcgal-qt5-dev may be required.
Optional: Additional packages for hyp2mat:
For example on Ubuntu 14.04 or above:
sudo apt-get install gengetopt help2man groff pod2pdf bison flex libhpdf-dev libtool autoconf
Optional: Install octave and octave devel packages:
sudo apt-get install octave liboctave-dev epstool transfig
Optional: Install ParaView so that gridded model can be viewed:
sudo apt-get install paraview
Build and Install
This instructions assume that you will install openEMS to ~/opt/openEMS
- Get the openEMS source code, extract, build and install:
cd /tmp wget http://openems.de/download/src/openEMS-v0.0.35.tar.bz2 tar jxf openEMS-v0.0.35.tar.bz2 cd openEMS ./update_openEMS.sh ~/opt/openEMS
- Alternatively include hyp2mat and the circuit toolbox:
./update_openEMS.sh ~/opt/openEMS --with-hyp2mat --with-CTB
- Alternatively disable AppCSXCAD build (e.g. for a server-system):
./update_openEMS.sh ~/opt/openEMS --disable-GUI
Setup Matlab/Octave
Add the openEMS path to matlab (store the commands in "startup.m" or ".octaverc" in your home directory to load them on startup in matlab or octave respectively):
addpath('~/opt/openEMS/share/openEMS/matlab'); addpath('~/opt/openEMS/share/CSXCAD/matlab');
If you installed hyp2mat and circuit toolbox, add the paths for these optional packages as well:
addpath('~/opt/openEMS/share/hyp2mat/matlab'); % hyp2mat package addpath('~/opt/openEMS/share/CTB/matlab'); % circuit toolbox
Build from Github
- If you want to get the latest development version of openEMS:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/thliebig/openEMS-Project.git cd openEMS-Project ./update_openEMS.sh ~/opt/openEMS
