How to Install Yaade on Arch Linux

Yaade is a package for discrete element numerical simulations developed for researchers to study mechanical behavior in various field like Civil engineering, Material science, and Geomechanics. This tutorial will explain how to install Yaade on Arch Linux system.

Prerequisites

In order to install Yaade on Arch Linux, we need to ensure that the following packages are installed on the system:

• pip (Python package manager)
• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)

You can install them by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S python-pip gcc

Installing Yaade

1. First, we need to install the necessary dependencies for Yaade. Run the command:

sudo pacman -S boost boost-libs gsl libsvm libxml2 qt5-base pkg-config make

2. Next, we need to download the Yaade source code. You can download the source code from the official website at https://docs.yaade.io/download.html or run the following command:

wget https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/-/archive/master/trunk-master.tar.gz

3. Extract the source code using the following command:

tar -xzvf trunk-master.tar.gz

4. Switch to the extracted directory:

cd trunk-master

5. Now, we need to install Yaade using pip. Run the following command:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the necessary packages required to run Yaade.

6. Finally, we can test the installation by running the following command:

yade -h

This command will show the list of available options for Yaade.

That's it! You have successfully installed Yaade on your Arch Linux system. You can now use Yaade for discrete element numerical simulations.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
