icqsol

icqsol is a collection of tools for constructing complex geometries from primitive shapes.

How to build icqsol

Prerequisites

• python 2.7 and 3.5 will work
• numpy 1.9.2 will work
• VTK with python wrapping enabled. Versions 6.3.0 and 7.0 will work
• CMake
• C++ compiler (gcc or clang)

icqsol runs on Linux and Mac OS X.

Installing icqsol

icqsol uses a CMake build system, which will call "python setup.py" to install the package. You have three choices:

a) Let python choose the installation directory, typically under /usr/lib/python/site-packages. May require sudo privilege

cmake .

(The period at the end is critical.)

b) Install under ~/.local/lib/python/site-packages/

cmake -DINSTALL_USER=ON .

c) Install in a user specified directory. Note that when using this option, the user will need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to /lib/site-packages.

cmake -DINSTALL_PREFIX=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<myDirectory> .

You may need to help icqsol find the VTK package by setting VTK_DIR

cmake -DVTK_DIR=<vtk_install_dir>/lib/cmake/vtk [other options] .

to point to the directory where VTKCOnfig.cmake is located.

How to test icqsol

You should be able to import icqsol in the python interpreter
