Long install for developer and interested users

The OpenFPM project is an only header library with few exceptions that require compilation. The exception are 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

git clone git@ppmcore.mpi-cbg.de:incardon/openfpm_pdata.git

** Warning: ** Be carefull production repo are different from release repositories

OpenFPM require the following dependencies and tools in order to compile the test and 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).

./install -i "/where/you/want/to/put/dependencies" -c "--prefix=/where/you/want/to/install"

At the end of the process you should have dependencies and test cases compiled, a full set of options is available with

./install -h

to install use

make install
