GridPACK is relatively easy to install on an Ubuntu Linux system. Working packages for GridPACK prerequisites are available from standard repositories. If you do not need to modify the GridPACK source, e.g. just use the GridPACK example applications or build your own application, you can install the binary package from the GridPACK PPA.
Currently, only 64-bit (AMD64) Ubuntu 16.04 is supported, which is a long term support (LTS) release which will be supported until 2021. If you are installing Ubuntu on a system or virtual machine, download the 16.04 LTS Desktop AMD64 distribution and follow the installation instructions.
GridPACK Installation on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS
Add the PPA to your system, and install GridPACK with
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wperkins/gridpack-ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gridpack-dev
To use GridPACK, you will also need to install CMake:
sudo apt-get install cmake
Make sure your installation works by building and running one of the several example applications, e.g. power flow:
mkdir tmpbuild cd tmpbuild cmake /usr/share/gridpack/example/powerflow make mpiexec -np 4 ./powerflow.x
Also, you can run the installed powerflow application on this same input:
mpiexec -np 4 /usr/bin/pf.x
GridPACK can be removed with
sudo apt-get purge gridpack-dev sudo apt autoremove
