How to Install Yaade on Linux Mint

Yaade is a simulation software used for the simulation of particulate systems in the field of granular materials. It can be installed on Linux Mint by following these steps:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Yaade, we need to install the necessary dependencies by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools cmake libomp-dev libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev qtbase5-dev

This command updates the package repository and installs Python 3, CMake, OpenMP library, Boost library, and Qt5, which are the required dependencies of Yaade.

Step 2: Download Yaade

Next, we need to download Yaade from the official website at https://docs.yaade.io/installation/source.html. Choose the latest stable release available and download it.

Alternatively, you can download the source code from Github:

git clone https://github.com/yade/yade.git

Step 3: Build Yaade from Source

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file and navigate to the extracted directory in the terminal:

tar -xvf yade-*.tar.gz
cd yade-*/build/

If you downloaded Yaade from Github, navigate to the cloned directory instead:

cd yade/build/

Next, configure and build Yaade by running the following commands:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make -j <number of CPU cores>
sudo make install

The cmake command configures the build process with the specified installation prefix. The make command builds the source code, and the sudo make install command installs Yaade on the system.

Step 4: Verify Installation

After the installation is complete, verify that it is working correctly by running Yaade in the terminal:

yaade

If the installation was successful, Yaade should launch without any issues.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Yaade on Linux Mint Latest! You can now use it to simulate particulate systems in the field of granular materials.
