Windows

The following instructions have been tested on windows 10 64bits, in Release and Debug configurations, and with the following packages versions: Visual Studio 2019, CMake 3.20, Python 3.8.7, SWIG 4.0.2, Intel oneAPI 2021.3, Eigen 3.3.9, Gmsh 4.4.1, VTK 9.0.3, PyQt 5.15.2, and MSMPI 10.1.1.

Required libraries

1. Git
   Install git from https://git-scm.com/download/win.

2. Visual Studio
   Download the Visual Studio installer from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and follow the instructions. You can either download the full installer including the IDE (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16), or only the build tools (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16). The following instructions assumes that VS has been installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.

3. CMake
   Install CMake from https://cmake.org/, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\CMake\bin).

4. Python and packages
   Install Python from https://www.python.org/, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\Python). Install python packages using pip

python -m pip install numpy
python -m pip install matplotlib

5. SWIG
   Download SWIG from http://www.swig.org/, unzip it to the location of your choice, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\SWIG).

6. Intel TBB and MKL (oneAPI)
   Download Intel oneAPI installer from https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit/download.html and follow the instructions. Only the TBB and MKL modules are needed. After the install is complete, add the librairies to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\Intel\oneAPI\tbb\latest\redist\intel64\vc14, C:\Program Files\Intel\oneAPI\tbb\latest\redist\intel64).

7. Eigen
   Download Eigen from https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page, unzip it to the location of your choice (e.g. C:\Program Files\eigen).

8. Gmsh
   Download gmsh from https://gmsh.info/, unzip it to the location of your choice, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\gmsh).

Optional libraries

1. VTK
   Download VTK from https://vtk.org/, and unzip in the location of your choice (e.g. C:\Users\Me\Desktop\VTK). Install from source (e.g. in C:\Program Files\VTK):

REM load VS env
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
REM setup dir
cd C:\Users\Me\Desktop\VTK
mkdir build
cd build
REM configure
cmake -A x64 -DVTK_PYTHON_VERSION=3 -DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\VTK ..
REM build and install
cmake --build . --target install --config Release

Add the executables to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\VTK\bin), and the python libraries to the PYTHONPATH environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\VTK\lib\python\site-packages).
WARNING if the libraries cannot be loaded (simply try import vtk in a python console), do not add the PYTHONPATH environment variable, and install python bindings for vtk using pip:

python -m pip install vtk

2. MPI and mpy4py
   Install MSMPI from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100305, and install python bindings using pip

python -m pip install mpi4py
