These are installation instructions for DOLFIN (and PyDOLFIN). For
more instructions and updates see the course home page:

DOLFIN:

These are commands for configuring and installing DOLFIN on the
PDE project course accounts.

First configure DOLFIN (figure out which compiler to use, etc.):

./configure --with-petsc-dir=/users/mdstud/ppde/data/src/petsc-2.3.0/ --disable-mpi --enable-pydolfin --prefix=${HOME}/usr

The flags tell DOLFIN where to find PETSC (a linear algebra library)
as well as tells it where to install DOLFIN (in your home directory)

then:

make install

This compiles and installs DOLFIN (in your home directory).


PyDOLFIN:

PyDOLFIN (the Python interface to DOLFIN) is still a bit experimental
and hasn't been integrated fully into the build system of DOLFIN. You
can build it by entering the PyDOLFIN directory (from the DOLFIN directory):

cd src/pydolfin

then build PyDOLFIN:

make

then install the resulting Python module:

python setup.py install --prefix=${HOME}/usr
