HPCBIOS is a command-line utility that provides a set of tools and libraries to users who deal with high-performance computing (HPC). In this tutorial, we will learn how to install HPCBIOS on nixOS latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure that your system has the following prerequisites:
The first step of the installation process is to clone the HPCBIOS repository. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/markklein-hpc/HpcBioS.git
This will clone the HPCBIOS repository into your current working directory.
HPCBIOS requires the following dependencies:
To install these dependencies, add the following lines to your configuration.nix file:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
boost mpi # Add dependencies
];
Then run the following command to update your system with the new configuration:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Next, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:
$ cd HpcBioS
Then, build and install the HPCBIOS package by running the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -if ./HpcBioS.nix
This will build and install the HPCBIOS package on your system.
To verify that HPCBIOS is installed correctly, run the following command in your terminal:
$ HpcBioS --version
This should output the version number of HPCBIOS installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed HPCBIOS on nixOS latest. You can now use HPCBIOS to develop and run applications related to high-performance computing.
