Installing Yaade on Void Linux

Yaade is a open-source software package that simulates the behavior of granular materials such as powders, grains and soils. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to install Yaade on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before installing Yaade on your Void Linux system, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

  • Void Linux distribution
  • Python version 3.6 or higher
  • GCC version 7.0 or higher
  • OpenMPI version 3.0 or higher

Installation Steps

Follow the steps below to install Yaade on your Void Linux system:

  1. Launch the terminal on your system by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

  2. Use the following command to install the dependencies needed to install Yaade:

    sudo xbps-install -S python gcc openmpi openmpi-devel python-mpi4py python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-matplotlib blas-devel lapack-devel qt5-devel

  3. Once the dependencies are installed, you can download the latest version of Yaade from the official website:

    wget https://github.com/yade/trunk/archive/master.zip

  4. Extract the downloaded Yaade archive:

    unzip master.zip

  5. Navigate to the extracted directory:

    cd trunk-master

  6. Use the following command to configure Yaade for your system:

    ./configure --enable-mpi --disable-yade-python

    This will configure Yaade with MPI (Message Passing Interface) support and disable the Python bindings.

  7. Once the configuration is complete, you can compile Yaade using the following command:

    make -j$(nproc)

    This may take several minutes to complete depending on the speed of your system.

  8. Finally, install Yaade on your system using the following command:

    sudo make install

    This will install Yaade on your system.

Verify Installation

To verify that Yaade has been installed correctly, you can run the following command in the terminal:

yaade --version

If Yaade has been installed correctly, this command will display the version of Yaade that has been installed.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install Yaade on Void Linux. Yaade is now installed on your system, and you can use it to simulate the behavior of granular materials.
