sudo apt-get install $PREREQUISITES # OpenSuse: "sudo zypper install $PREREQUISITES"
Install some extra python packages:
sudo easy_install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL-accelerate
Check that your python is 2.7
python --version
Generate makefiles and make binaries:
cd /home/$USERNAME/pyplasm mkdir build cd build cmake ../ make sudo make install # if you get an error try the following "touch install_manifest.txt" and "chmod a+rw ./*" cd ..
IMPORTANT: do not install brew and use ONLY the official python already installed on your osx (should be 2.7; you can type 'python --version' in a terminal)
Install XCode tools from AppStore (optionally install also Xcode command line tools)
Install PyOpenGL (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL):
tar -zxvf PyOpenGL-X.X.X.tar.gz cd PyOpenGL-X.X.X python setup.py install
Install cmake for OSX (https://cmake.org/download/) Example: cmake-3.4.1-Darwin-x86_64.dmg
Download pyplasm in your home directory (example: /home/$USERNAME/pyplasm) Open a terminal and create the build directory:
cd /home/$USERNAME/pyplasm mkdir build
Run Cmake application:
"Where is the source code" /Users/$USERNAME/pyplasm "Where to build the binaries /Users/$USERNAME/pyplasm/build Press configure, then generate.
Build and install:
cd /home/$USERNAME/pyplasm/build xcodebuild -project PyPlasm.xcodeproj -target ALL_BUILD -configuration Release sudo xcodebuild -project PyPlasm.xcodeproj -target install -configuration Release
