The OpenFPM project is an only header library with some few exceptions. So in general no compilation is required. In future some of the exceptions will became only header, while when not possible isolated in linkable libraries. Considering that at this stage is an evolving project its installation is bind to git and no release is available. In order to clone openfpm_pdata use the following command
OpenFPM require the following dependencies and tools in order to compile the test with internal and external the dependencies
* MPI-3.0 (only OpenMPI 1.8.X has been tested but others implementation should work)
* boost
* Metis
* (gcc 4.8.2 or higher) or (Clang any version not too old)(Intel is not tested at the moment)
* cmake
* autotools
* automake
* autolib
* wget
The good news is that there is a installation script that should take care of this, giving a step by step installation process, and installing tools and the dependencies automatically (nothing is installed without asking).
```bash
./install
```
At the end of the process you should have dependencies and test case compiled
