Importantly, it is open source. After a great deal of time and trouble, I managed to get in working on my laptop which is running the Mac OS X operating system. 1 In the following, I detail my experiences in installing the IPOPT package. Succinctly put, the configure script did not work for IPOPT, so I had to install everything from scratch.

1. Install Lapack Ubuntu
2. Lapack Install Linux
3. Lapack Download
4. Mac Os X Versions

1. Note on MacOS X, you can use the accelerate framework (ATLAS for Mac) To link, just use: '-framework Accelerate?

Binary installers¶

In most use cases the best way to install NumPy on your system is by using aninstallable binary package for your operating system.

Windows¶

Good solutions for Windows are, The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) (which provides binaryinstallers for Windows, OS X and Redhat) and Python (x, y). Both of these packages include Python, NumPy andmany additional packages.

A lightweight alternative is to download the Pythoninstaller from www.python.org and the NumPyinstaller for your Python version from the Sourceforge download site

The NumPy installer includes binaries for different CPU’s (without SSEinstructions, with SSE2 or with SSE3) and installs the correct oneautomatically. If needed, this can be bypassed from the command line with

or ‘sse2’ or ‘sse3’ instead of ‘nosse’.

Linux¶

Most of the major distributions provide packages for NumPy, but these can lagbehind the most recent NumPy release. Pre-built binary packages for Ubuntu areavailable on the scipy ppa. Redhat binaries areavailable in the EPD.

Mac OS X¶

A universal binary installer for NumPy is available from the download site. The EPDprovides NumPy binaries.

Rather than downloading and installing this software, you might want toconsider using the Virtual Machine for this class, which already contains everything you need.Or, you can do your computing on the cloud by following the instructions inthe section Amazon Web Services EC2 AMI.

It is assumed that you are on a Unix-like machine (e.g Linux or Mac OSX). For some flavors of Unix it is easy to download and install someof the required packages using apt-get (see Software available through apt-get),or your system’s packagemanager. Many Python packages can also be installed usingeasy_install (see Software available through easy_install).

If you must use a Windows PC, then you shoulddownload and install [VirtualBox] for Windows and thenrun the Virtual Machine for this class to provide a Linux environment. Alternatively you can usea linux machine in the cloud via Amazon Web Services EC2 AMI.

If you are using a Mac and want to install the necessary software, you alsoneed to install Xcode developertools, which includes necessary compilers and make, for example.

Some of this software may already be available on your machine. The whichcommand in Unix will tell you if a command is found on your search path,e.g.:

tells me that when I type the python command it runs the program located inthe file listed. Often executables are stored in directories named bin,which is short for binary, since they are often binary machine code files.

If which doesn’t print anything, or says something like:

then the command cannot be found on the search path. So either thesoftware is not installed or it has been installed in a directory that isn’tsearched by the shell program (see Shells) when it tries to interpretyour command. See PATH and other search paths for more information.

Versions¶

Often there is more than one version of software packages in use. Newerversions may have more features than older versions and perhaps even behavedifferently with respect to common features. For some of what we do it willbe important to have a version that is sufficiently current.

For example, Python has changed dramatically in recent years. Everything weneed (I think!) for this class can be found inVersion 2.X.Y for any (X geq 4).

Major changes were made to Python in going to Python 3.0, which has not beenbroadly adopted by the community yet (because much code would have to berewritten). In this class we are not using Python 3.X. (See[Python-3.0-tutorial] for more information.)

To determine what version of softwareyou have installed, often the command can be issued with the --versionflag, e.g.:

Individual packages¶

Python¶

If the version of Python on your computer is older than 2.7.0 (see above),you should upgrade.

See http://www.python.org/download/ or consider the Enthought PythonDistribution (EPD) or Anaconda CE described below.

SciPy Superpack¶

On Mac OSX, you can often install gfortran and all the Python packages we’llneed using the SciPy Superpack.

Enthought Python Distribution (EPD)¶

You might consider installingEPD free

This includes a recent version of Python 2.X as well as many of the otherPython packages listed below (IPython, NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, mayavi).

EPD works well on Windows machines too.

Anaconda CE¶

Anacondais a new collection of Python tools distributed byContinuum AnalyticsThe “community edition” Anaconda CE is free and contains most of the toolswe’ll be using, including IPython, NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib,and many others. The full Anaconda is also free for academic users.

IPython¶

The IPython shell is much nicer to use than the standard Python shell (seeShells and ipython).(Included in EPD, Anaconda, and the SciPy Superpack.)

See http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/

NumPy and SciPy¶

Used for numerical computing in Python (see Numerics in Python).(Included in EPD, Anaconda, and the SciPy Superpack.)

See http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy

Matplotlib¶

Matlab-like plotting package for 1d and 2d plots in Python.(Included in EPD, Anaconda, and the SciPy Superpack.)

See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

Git¶

Version control system (see Git).

See downloads.

Sphinx¶

Documentation system used to create these class notes pages (seeSphinx documentation).

Install Lapack Ubuntu

See http://sphinx.pocoo.org/

gfortran¶

GNU fortran compiler (see Fortran).

Lapack Install Linux

You may already have this installed, try:

See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran

OpenMP¶

Included with gfortran (see OpenMP).

Open MPI¶

Message Passing Interface software for parallel computing (see MPI).

See http://www.open-mpi.org/

Some instructions for installing from source on a Mac can be found athere.

LAPack¶

Linear Algebra Package, a standard library of highly optimized linearalgebra subroutines. LAPack depends on the BLAS (Basic Linear AlgebraSubroutines); it is distributed with a reference BLAS implementation,but more highly optimized BLAS are available for most systems.

See http://www.netlib.org/lapack/

Software available through apt-get¶

On a recent Debian or Ubuntu Linux system, most of the software forthis class can be installed through apt-get. To install, type thecommand:

where the appropriate PACKAGE to install comes from the list below.

NOTE: You will only be able to do this on your own machine, the VM describedat Virtual Machine for this class, or a computer on which you have super user privileges toinstall software in the sytsem files. (See sudo)

You can also installthese packages using a graphical package manager such as Synapticinstead of apt-get. If you are able to install all of thesepackages, you do not need to install the Enthought PythonDistribution.

Many of these packages depend on other packages; answer “yes” whenapt-get asks you if you want to download them. Some of them, suchas Python, are probably already installed on your system, in whichcase apt-get will tell you that they are already installed and donothing.

The script below was used to install software on the Ubuntu VM:

Software available through easy_install¶

easy_install is a Python utility that can automatically download andinstall many Python packages. It is part of the Python setuptoolspackage, available from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools,and requires Python to already be installed on your system. Once thispackage is installed, you can install Python packages on a Unix systemby typing:

where the PACKAGE to install comes from the list below. Note thatthese packages are redundant with the ones available from apt-get;use apt-get if it’s available.

Mac Os X Versions

If these packages fail to build, you may need to install the Pythonheaders.
