Contributing/Getting Help

If you would like to contribute to COSMO-SAC or report a problem, please open a pull request or submit an issue. Especially welcome would be additional tests.

If you want to discuss or request assistance, please open an issue.

To get started, you should check out the Jupyter notebooks; they demonstrate some of the capabilities of this library.

Installation

Prerequisites

You will need:

cmake (on windows, install from cmake, on linux sudo apt install cmake should do it, on OSX, brew install cmake)
Python (the anaconda distribution is used by the authors)
a compiler (on windows, Visual Studio 2015+ (express version is fine), g++ on linux/OSX)

If on linux you use Anaconda and end up with an error something like

ImportError: /home/theuser/anaconda3/bin/../lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/theuser/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cCOSMO.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so)

it can be sometimes fixed by installing libgcc with conda: conda install libgcc. This is due to an issue in Anaconda

From the git repository

Clone (recursively!) and run the setup.py script (the --shallow-submodules flag is optional, and checks out only the most recent commit of the submodules, saving rather a lot of data for Eigen)

git clone --recursive --shallow-submodules https://github.com/usnistgov/COSMOSAC
cd COSMOSAC
python setup.py install

to install, or

python setup.py develop

to use a locally-compiled version for testing. If you want to build a debug version, you can do so with

python setup.py build -g develop

With a debug build, you can step into the debugger to debug the C++ code, for instance.

Cmake build

Starting in the root of the repo (a debug build with the default compiler, here on linux):

git clone --recursive --shallow-submodules https://github.com/usnistgov/COSMOSAC
cd COSMOSAC
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

For those using Anaconda on Linux, please use the following for cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=`which python`
cmake --build .

For Visual Studio 2019 (64-bit) in release mode, you would do:

git clone --recursive --shallow-submodules https://github.com/usnistgov/COSMOSAC
cd COSMOSAC
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2019 Win64"
cmake --build . --config Release

If you need to update your submodules (pybind11 and friends)

git submodule update --init

For other options, see the cmake docs
