We are currently in the closed beta-testing phase. You will see a lot of content here, but if you are not invited beta tester, please wait until March 2020 before contacting us or trying to download openCARP

Installing openCARP

openCARP ecosystem

and a number of examples.

If you use our docker image, please also refer to installation of meshalyzer and locally install melshalyzer because it is not included.

If you would like to locally install everything, please refer to the following building openCARP from source, install carputils from source, meshtool main page, and installation of meshalyzer. Download the openCARP examples to the location of your choice using git clone https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/experiments.git.

Installation packages

We are currently setting up installers for at least linux and macOS. At the moment, please use docker or source installation (see below)

Installation of openCARP Docker containers

First, install Docker for your platform.

You can then use docker commands to pull and use the docker images. We recommend to also install our script to simplify the docker commands for openCARP.

Pull the docker image

Pull the latest openCARP docker image:

docker pull docker.opencarp.org/opencarp/opencarp:latest

Pull the latest openCARP developer docker image (only required for openCARP developers):

docker pull docker.opencarp.org/opencarp/opencarp/dev:latest

Install our docker script

Docker provides a variety of commands to utilize docker images:

docker --help

To help you quick start, our script wraps the most commonly used docker commands. Tell the install script where to place the binary files (should be a diretory in your $PATH). Use sudo if admin permission is required to write there:

cd <path-to-your-codebase>/openCARP/docker
./install_script.sh <path-to-your-bin>

For example, to install to /usr/local/bin, run:

sudo ./install_script.sh /usr/local/bin

The script enables you to start with the keyword opencarp-docker followed by the appropriate command.

Make sure the script is installed correctly:

opencarp-docker help

Pull the docker image:

opencarp-docker pull

For usage examples and more information, please refer to our docker/README.

Building openCARP from source

First install the following openCARP prerequisites using your package manager or from their official release.

Prerequisites

  • git
  • binutils
  • C and C++ compilers
  • make
  • CMake
  • PETSc
  • gengetopt
  • zlib-devel

Tips for installing PETSc: If you are not experienced with its various configurations, please refer to the following suggestions. Set --prefix= to the location you would install PETSc. After installation, set the location installed PETSc for the environment variable PETSC_DIR.

./configure \
    --prefix=/opt/petsc \
    --download-mpich \
    --download-fblaslapack \
    --download-metis \
    --download-parmetis \
    --download-hypre \
    --with-debugging=0 \
    COPTFLAGS='-O2' \
    CXXOPTFLAGS='-O2' \
    FOPTFLAGS='-O2'
make all
make install

If you have all the listed dependencies, a quick way to get openCARP up and running is the following:

Clone the repository and enter the codebase folder openCARP

git clone git@git.opencarp.org:openCARP/openCARP.git
cd openCARP

We provide CMake files and Makefiles for building the codebase, choose one fits your workflow.

Building using CMake

Run CMake to create the _build build folder

cmake -S. -B_build

Compile the codebase, and all built executables are located in the _build/bin folder.

cmake --build _build

(Optional) You can also install the executables to the system using

cmake --build _build --target install

Building using the Makefile

The codebase can be compiled using

make setup

This target includes updating the codebase (make update) and code compilation (make all).

Links to all compiled executables are located in the bin folder.

Installing carputils from source

Docker

A quick way to get started is pulling the openCARP docker image.

Linux/MacOS

To locally run carputils, first install openCARP, Python3, and pip.

Install Python3 packages using pip.

pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip install scipy matplotlib numpy pandas scipy tables

Clone the carputils repository.

git clone https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/carputils.git

Add carputils/bin to your PATH, and carputils to your PYTHONPATH For example, if you clone carputils to $HOME/install, add the following lines in your .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/install/carputils/bin
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/install/carputils

Download a settings file for carputils. Specify the proper directories for openCARP-CPU and other openCARP tools if you use them. For example,

CPU: $HOME/install/openCARP/bin

Rename the settings file to settings.yaml and put it in the root directory of the carputils.
