System Preparation
Starting with a clean, minimal installation, add contrib and non-free components of the Debian distribution need to apt sources (ParMETIS is in non-free). Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make the main repository line look like this:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
and then refresh the system package lists with
sudo apt-get update
Prerequisite Installation
General
Install a C++ compiler, CMake, and Git:
sudo apt-get install git cmake g++
Boost
Install necessary Boost libraries:
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-mpi-dev \ libboost-random-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev
This will install the default MPI implementation (OpenMPI), including compiler wrappers, also.
