ParaMonte installation quick start

The ParaMonte library quick start

1. Clone the ParaMonte repository on your system.

   git clone https://github.com/cdslaborg/paramonte.git
   

   Alternatively, you can optionally download the OpenBLAS and other ParaMonte submodules via,

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cdslaborg/paramonte.git
   

2. Navigate to the root directory of the repository either in a Windows CMD command prompt or Unix Bash terminal.
3. Ensure you have a recent CMake software (>3.21), and a recent Intel (>2021) or GNU (>10) C/Fortran compilers already installed in your terminal.
4. Using a Windows CMD command prompt, type,
   • For the ParaMonte C library build,

     install.bat --lang c
     

   • For the ParaMonte C++ library build,

     install.bat --lang cpp
     

   • For the ParaMonte Fortran library build,

     install.bat --lang fortran
     

   • For the ParaMonte MATLAB library build,

     install.bat --lang matlab
     

   See more on the relevant installation instructions in install.bat.md.

5. Using a Unix Bash terminal, type,
   • For the ParaMonte C library build,

     ./install.sh --lang c
     

   • For the ParaMonte C++ library build,

     ./install.sh --lang cpp
     

   • For the ParaMonte Fortran library build,

     ./install.sh --lang fortran
     

   • For the ParaMonte MATLAB library build,

     ./install.sh --lang matlab
     

     See more on the relevant installation instructions in install.sh.md.

6. For MPI-parallel library builds, ensure you have the relevant MPI library installed on your system.
   Then, merely add the extra build configuration flag --par mpi to the relevant install commands above.

See install.md, install.config.md, install.bat.md, install.sh.md, and CMakeLists.md for more details on library build options and guidelines.

Example install commands

1. To build for the C, C++, and Fortran programming languages and build and run all their corresponding examples in serial, try,
   • On Windows,

     install.bat --lang "c;cpp;fortran" --exam all
     

   • On Linux and macOS,

     ./install.sh --lang "c;cpp;fortran" --exam all
     

2. As of 2024, the following commands can be used to generate minimal serial, openmp and mpi ParaMonte MATLAB binaries.
   • On Windows,

     install.bat --lang matlab --par "serial;openmp;mpi" --ski 1 --iki "3;4" --lki 3 --rki "1;2" --cki "1;2" --matlabroot "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a"
     

   • On Linux,

     ./install.sh --lang matlab --par "serial;openmp;mpi" --ski 1 --iki "3;4" --lki 3 --rki "1;2" --cki "1;2" --matlabroot "/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a"
     

   • On macOS,

     ./install.sh --lang matlab --par "serial;openmp;mpi" --ski 1 --iki "3;4" --lki 3 --rki "1;2" --cki "1;2" --matlabroot "/Applications/MATLAB_R2023b.app"
     

See install.config.md for the meaning of the flags used and many more possible configuration flags.
