Installing the binary releases
Installing the ALPS libraries and applications (MacOSX and Windows)
To install the binary releases for MacOS X and Windows just download the appropriate installer above and install it on your system. The installation location is /opt/alps on MacOS and "C:Program Files\ALPS" or "C:Program Files (x86)\ALPS" on Windows.
Installing Vistrails and the ALPS Vistrails extensions
To use the full Python functionality or the Vistrails provenance system, download and install the latest version of Vistrails and then download install the appropriate ALPS Vistrails extension from the list above. This will install the ALPS packages into Vistrails and update your Vistrails installation to the latest pre-release version of Vistrails that is needed for ALPS.
Important note: on MacOS X download Vistrails 1.5.0 from here and not VIstrails 1.5.1 which has a fatal bug.
Install Vistrails also if you just want to use the ALPS Python tools without Vistrails, since the binary packages have been compiled against the Python installation that comes with Vistrails.
On Windows you will need to tell Vistrails where you have installed ALPS if you use a a 64-bit version of Windows or have not installed ALPS in the default location on the C drive. To do so, launch Vistrails and select Preferences from the Edit menu. Then click the "Module Packages" tab and enable the ALPS package. After enabling the ALPS package, select alps click configure and change the alpspath variable to point to your ALPS installation. On a 64-bit version of Windows this will most likely just be changing "Program Files" to 'Program Files (x86)".
Non-default install locations for the binary packages
If you install it in a non-default location you will have to
- set the environment variable ALPS_XML_DIR to point the the directory containing the ALPS XML and XSL files (the lib/xml subdirectory of the ALPS installation
- On MacOS X set the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the lib directory of the ALPS installation so that the dynamic libraries can be found.
Installing the ALPS libraries and applications (Debian GNU/Linux)
We make binary packages of official release/prerelease for Debian GNU/Linux (sid/amd64). The following is the apt line.
deb http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/software/debian/sid ./ deb-src http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/software/debian/sid ./
Building ALPS from source on MacOS X and Unix
Libraries and tools needed to build ALPS
ALPS will need the following libraries and tools in addition to the ALPS sources:
- CMake version 2.8 or higher as a build system.
- Boost C++ Libraries version 1.41.0, 1.42.0, or 1.43.0 or 1.44.0
- HDF5 version 1.8.2, 1.8.3 or 1.8.4 but not 1.8.5
Many of the applications will also need
- BLAS and LAPACK libraries
To use the evaluation tools you will need Python and some Python packages
- Python 2.5 or 2.6
- Numpy
- Matplotlib
- Scipy
- h5py
All these packages and tools can be installed from source. In the following we will give more instructions for packaged installations on various platforms.
The directed loop SSE code also needs
- LPSolve 5.1 (not 5.5), which can be downloaded here. The lpsolve51 subdirectory contains build scripts for different platforms. Refer to the accompanying README files for detailed instructions.
- Depending on your version of bison there might be a compilation problem with lp_solve. To solve this problem, comment out line 17 "extern int yyleng" of the file lpglob.h.
- On Mac OS X, if you encounter the error 'unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double"', you must edit the build script ccc.osx and remove "-Wno-long-double" from line 12. Afterwards, rerun "sh ccc.osx".
Get dependent libraries and tools on MacOS X using Mac Ports
- Get and install Mac Ports
- Install CMake either using the binary on http://www.cmake.org/ or using Mac Ports:
$ sudo port install cmake
- Install HDF5 1.8.2, 1.8.3 or 1.8.4 but not 1.8.5.
$ sudo port install hdf5-18
- If you want Python support without Vistrails install Python and scientific Python packages:
$ sudo port install py26-numpy py26-scipy py26-matplotlib py26-h5py python26 $ sudo python_select python26
Alternatively you can also just install the ALPS Vistrails extensions
- Download and unpack the Boost C++ Libraries library sources 1.41.0 or higher if you have not downloaded them with the ALPS sources. NOTE: just download and unpack but do not build Boost
Get dependent libraries and tools on CentOS 5.4 (should be identical with RHEL 5.4 and essentially all 5.* versions)
1. Make sure you have all the usual compilers installed. The following should pull in all required dependencies (including some libraries):
# yum install gcc-c++ gcc-gfortran
2. If you want to use the evaluation tools, you will need to install a newer version of Python than the provided 2.4. You can install from source or use an unofficial repository for binary RPMs. This is not required if you just want to run your compiled simulations (c++ applications), but make sure you still have python headers (specify -DALPS_BUILD_PYTHON=OFF when invoking cmake):
# yum install python-devel
3. CMake 2.8.0 or later and HDF5 1.8 or later (but not 1.8.5) need to be installed from source since there are no packages in the standard repositories. You can however use the install scripts in the script directory to save some work. See #Get some dependent libraries and tools from source using ALPS convenience scripts
4. More recent Boost packages are required. Use the ALPS package that includes them or get them separately.
5. If you don't have some version installed already, you will also need BLAS/LAPACK:
# yum install blas-devel lapack-devel
Get dependent libraries and tools on Ubuntu 9.10 karmic
CMake 2.8.0 and HDF5 1.8 need to be installed from source since there are no packages in karmic. It is easier with the next release (lucid), see below.
Get dependent libraries and tools on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Download ALPS with the Boost sources included, as Ubuntu 10.04 only ships with Boost 1.40. Install other required packages (including python headers and libssl) using Synaptic package manager.
build-essential cmake-curses-gui libhdf5-serial-dev libfftw3-dev gfortran python-dev python-h5py python-scipy python-matplotlib libssl-dev liblapack-dev
On Ubuntu, Vistrails is able to automatically install additional packages. If you however do not have administrative rights, you might need your administrator to install also the following packages:
python-qt4-gl python-qt4-sql python-vtk
Get dependent libraries and tools on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
Install required packages using Synaptic package manager.
cmake-curses-gui libboost-all-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libfftw3-dev gfortran python-matplotlib python-scipy python-h5py liblapack-dev
Get dependent libraries and tools on Debian GNU/Linux (sid)
(2010/04/08) You can now create ALPS binary (except SSE, #68) without external source!
- Install build-essential package using apt. This will pull g++, make, etc.
$ sudo aptitude install build-essential
- Install CMake using apt. Currently, this pulls 2.8.2
$ sudo aptitude install cmake-curses-gui
- Install HDF5 using apt. Currently, this pulls 1.8.4-patch1.
$ sudo aptitude install libhdf5-serial-dev
- Install Boost C++ Libraries using apt. Currently, this pulls 1.42.0. Note: Install libboost-all-dev. libboost-dev is not sufficient!
$ sudo aptitude install libboost-all-dev
- Install FFTW using apt.
$ sudo aptitude install libfftw3-dev
- Install Python and the needed packages h5py, numpy, scipy and matplotlib using apt.
$ sudo aptitude install python-h5py python-numpy python-matplotlib python-scipy
- Install gfortran using apt for LAPACK/BLAS autodetection.
$ sudo aptitude install gfortran
Get some dependent libraries and tools from source using ALPS convenience scripts
We have provided some shell scripts that can simplify building some of the dependent libraries from source:
- Checkout the ALPS source from subversion. (assume e.g. at $HOME/src/alps2)
- Install CMake and HDF5 using scripts, building in $HOME/tmp and installing into $HOME/opt
$ $HOME/src/alps2/script/cmake.sh $HOME/opt $HOME/tmp $ $HOME/src/alps2/script/hdf5.sh $HOME/opt $HOME/tmp
Build ALPS
- Create a build directory (anywhere you have write access) and execute cmake.
$ cmake /path/to/alps/directory
If you downloaded the Boost sources separately (and not with the ALPS sources) specify the root directory as follows:
$ cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=/path/to/boost/directory /path/to/alps/directory
If you want to specify a different installation directory set the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/directory /path/to/alps/directory
If you want to link against a 64-bit LAPACK version turn the LAPACK_64_BIT option on in cmake by adding the option -D LAPACK_64_BIT=ON
- Optionally look at or edit the CMake configuration settings using the CMake GUI or ccmake. This lets you set include and library paths for libraries which cmake did not find automatically.
$ ccmake .
- Build and test ALPS
$ make $ make test $ make install
Notes for high performance computers
On HPC machines it might be nontrivial to configure and set up ALPS with the right combination of libraries. We thus provide setup configuration files for those machines where we have successfully installed ALPS and where the setup was nontrivial. More information can be found here
Building Vistrails and ALPS Vistrails packages from source on Linux
Setting up ALPS-enabled Vistrails on Debian GNU/Linux (sid)
- Install python-qt4-gl and python-vtk (and unzip) using apt
$ sudo aptitude install python-qt4-gl python-vtk unzip
- Download the latest Vistrails sources from [1].
- Go to your ALPS build directory
- Turn ALPS_INSTALL_VISTRAILS_PACKAGES on, either in the GUI or by running cmake initially as
$ cmake -DALPS_INSTALL_VISTRAILS_PACKAGES =ON
- Set theCMake VISTRAILS_APP_DIR variable to point to the directory containing vistrails.
- Build and install ALPS. This will build both a full ALPS installation and install the ALPS Vistrails extensions into Vistrails
If you have problems...
f you've had previous versions of Vistrails installed, it might be confused by some old files in ~/.vistrails. Try renaming that folder and start again.
Advanced builds
Instructions for advanced build versions are available on the developer Wiki:
- Building from source on Windows https://alps.comp-phys.org/trac/wiki/AlpsOnWindows
- Building the documentation from source https://alps.comp-phys.org/trac/wiki/Documentation
- Building binary and source packages https://alps.comp-phys.org/trac/wiki/Packages
- Build using llvm https://alps.comp-phys.org/trac/wiki/LLVM
- Build Vistrails packages on MacOS and Windows https://alps.comp-phys.org/trac/wiki/AlpsVistrails
If you want to build the Python extensions against a non-standard Python installation set the CMake variable PYTHON_INTERPRETER to point to the Python interpreter you want to use
