Installation Guide for JAC

The following instructions guide you stepwise through the installation of all JAC dependencies. These instructions have been contributed by Martino Trassinelli (2020) and written for and tested on Mac XX.yy. In particular, you should be able to run JAC after the following three steps:

1) First, we need to install the julia (version 1.0 or later) programming language. This can be done easily

  • by typing
> sudo apt-get install julia

if you use apt-get,

  • by typing
> brew install julia

if you use homebrew,

  • by downloading the official installer at https://julialang.org/ (this is the only option fully tested so far)

If you install Julia from the official download, you need to make available the executable in terminal. To do that, proceed with the following steps.

  • if needed create the bin directory in your home. For this open a terminal and tape 'mkdir bin'
  • if needed put your new bin directory in executable path: add the line 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' in .bashrc (or equivalent)
  • create a simlink in your $HOME/bin directory: 'ln -s /Applications/Julia-VERSION.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia $HOME/bin/.' where VERSION has to be changed with your Julia version you downloaded

Now, you can run julia in a terminal by executing:

> julia

2) If you don't have a gfortran compiler install this

  • by typing
> sudo apt-get install gfortran

in the terminal, if you use apt-get,

  • by typing
> brew install gfortran

or

> brew install gcc

in the terminal, if you use homebrew (gfortran is inclued in the gcc installation).

To test if gfortran is working, test it in a terminal

> gfortran --version

You should obtain an output like

GNU Fortran (Homebrew GCC 9.2.0_3) 9.2.0

Press the key "]" to enter the julia package manager; you will see the prompt will change to pkg>, and type:

pkg> add IJulia

to install IJulia.

Next, install the JAC package by executing:

pkg> add https://github.com/OpenJAC/JAC.jl

All JAC data files should be now in a folder in "/home/USER/.julia/packages/JAC" (please, don't forget to change "USER" in the address by your user name).

Exit julia by typing:

> exit()

2bis) Once you downloaded JAC.jl (as package via Julia, or github or direct dowload), you have to compile the additional Fortran library for angular coefficients.

To do it

  • go to the library of interest: from your home directory in a terminal write

    > cd .julia/packages/JAC/DIRECTORY_NAME_THAT_COULD_CHANGE/deps/ratip2013-angular-coefficients

    The directory name I think is referring to the name of the last github commit.

  • make a local bin file taping

> mkdir ../bin

'mkdir ../bin'

  • compile the library taping
> make
  • For using JAC as stand alone you do the same in the directory 'JAC/deps/ratip2013-angular-coefficients/'

3) Install jupyter environment by executing the following command in the terminal (jupyter can also be installed from the software center)

> sudo apt-get install jupyter

or

> brew install jupyter

To run JAC tutorials, simply type (don't forget to change "USER" in the address by your user name)

> jupyter notebook /home/USER/.julia/packages/JAC

This will start a new jupyter session in your default browser. Open a tutorial from the folder JAC.jl-master/tutorials.

Update of the JAC package

JAC can be updated by running julia, pressing the key "]" and typing

pkg> update JAC

This will create a new folder in "/home/user/.julia/packages/JAC" with the up-to-date version of JAC.
