To build the solver is simple. Navigate to the solver directory and run the following lines.
make clean
make
The result will be an executable called rpcf in the solver directory. If there are any compile errors (most likely from certain header files not being in
the include path) then you're on your own lmao 😂
For ease it's a good idea to add a symlink to the appropriate directory in your path, e.g.
ln -s /absolute/path/to/rpcf /absolute/path/to/symlink/directory/
Now it is possible, given a directory containing the correct files for initialise a run, to use the rpcf in that folder (or provide a path to it) to run a simulation.
To install the pre-processing code is even simpler. This code is written in Python and is distributed with a setup.py script. Therefore, simply run the command
pip install -e /absolute/path/to/directory/with/setup.py
and all the packages will be importable from the environment it was installed (ideally a virtual environment).
