= Bazaar and scons installation =
 
 
In order to install yade on a computer, it is first necessary to get the sources. This is achieved through the python software called bazaar (version >= 1.7). Yade "modules" are then compiled with an other python software called scons.
 
Most recent stable versions of these softwares can easily be downloaded on their respective sites: bazaar(http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download) and scons(http://www.scons.org/download.php).
 
Assuming that python is ok, the installation is also simple. cd into the downloaded folder and type:
 
$ sudo python setup.py install
 
 
= Systemwide installation as root =
 
 
By default yade installs in directory <tt>/usr/local</tt>, but to install there you need a root access. So running just <tt>scons ''some options''</tt> should be enough. However, since you want to install yade systemwide as root, it might be better if you built a debian package instead.
 
 
= Installing from debian source packages =
 
 
[http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~smilauer/yade This repository] contains weekly snapshots from svn in the form of debian source packages. To compile and install these (assuming that you already have [[Installation#Required_packages|required packages]] installed), you need to add repository source do your '<tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>':
 
 
deb-src http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~smilauer/yade ./
 
 
Pick a revision number you want (eg. 1234), based on the repository contents - see http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~smilauer/yade, then run:
 
 
apt-get source yade-svn1234
 
sudo apt-get build-dep yade-svn1234
 
cd yade-svn1234-1
 
fakeroot-tcp debian/rules binary
 
 
Once compiled, you will have optimized (yade-svn1234), debug (yade-svn1234-dbg) and development (yade-svn1234-dev) packages in <tt>../</tt>, which you can install by:
 
 
sudo dpkg -i ../yade-svn1234*.deb
 
 
=Scons options=
 
 
[http://www.scons.org Scons] is the tool used to build and install yade. Always run it from the top directory of yade.

! ''parameter''
 
! ''default&nbsp;value''
 
! ''description''
 
|-
 
|| <tt>PREFIX</tt>
 
|| <tt>/usr/local</tt>
 
|| The directory where yade will be installed. Different yade versions '''will not overwrite each other''' in <tt>PREFIX</tt> directory. See version and variant below. This parameter is passed to the preprocessor as <tt>PREFIX</tt> macro (expands to quoted string).
 
|-
 
|| <tt>version</tt>
 
|| <tt>''auto''</tt>
 
|| Scons autodetects svn revision or release number, so it will be "<tt>svn1144</tt>" or "<tt>0.11.0</tt>", for example. If this fails, it will be "unknown". It is used to build `<tt>SUFFIX</tt>` (see `<tt>variant</tt>`).
 
|-
 
|| <tt>variant</tt>
 
|| <tt>''empty''</tt>
 
|| Free-form name that describes variant of this version (usually something like "<tt>-debug</tt>", "<tt>-optimized</tt>" etc. May be empty. <tt>SUFFIX</tt> is a macro defined by the preprocessor (as quoted string) that has the form "<tt>$version$variant</tt>", i.e. <tt>svn1144-debug</tt> if <tt>version=svn1144</tt> and <tt>variant=debug</tt>.
 
|-
 
|| <tt>debug</tt>
 
|| <tt>1</tt>
 
|| Pass debugging flags to the compiler (generates debugging symbols in binaries), defines <tt>YADE_DEBUG</tt> symbols. Defaults to '''''true'''''.
 
|-
 
|| <tt>optimize</tt>
 
|| <tt>0</tt>
 
|| Defines <tt>YADE_CAST</tt> (<tt>YADE_PTR_CAST</tt>) as <tt>static_cast</tt> (<tt>static_pointer_cast</tt>) and pass optimization flags to the compiler. Use together with <tt>debug</tt> to get fast code with debug symbols included. Defaults to '''''false'''''.
 
|-
 
|| <tt>buildPrefix</tt>
 
|| <tt>..</tt>
 
|| Specify where to put the <tt>build-0.11.0</tt> directory, which will hold all files created during compilation. This ensures that the source tree remains clean and that different builds (like optimized and debugging) are strictly separated, like <tt>build-0.11.0</tt> and <tt>build-0.11.0-debug</tt>
 
|-
 
|| <tt>jobs</tt>
 
|| <tt>4</tt>
 
|| How many compilations should run in parallel. Defaults to '''''four''''', if your computer is weak you may want a lower number. Equivalent to make -j4
 
|-
 
|| <tt>CXX</tt>
 
|| <tt>g++</tt>
 
|| C++ compiler you want to use. You can say <tt>CXX="distcc g++"</tt> to have distributed build, if that is configured.
 
|-
 
|| <tt>CPPPATH</tt>
 
|| <tt>''empty''</tt>
 
|| Additional paths for the c proprocessor (whitespace separated). Use it for locally-installed libraries, eg.: <tt>CPPPATH="/usr/local/include /home/fred/build/log4cxx/include"</tt>
 
|-
 
|| <tt>LIBPATH</tt>
 
|| <tt>''empty''</tt>
 
|| Additional paths for linker (whitespace separated).
 
|}
 
 
To see all the options, along with their default and current values, say `<tt>scons -h</tt>`.
 
 
As an example, to compile yade I use following command
 
 
scons jobs=10 pretty=0 debug=1 optimize=0 profile=0 CXX="distcc g++" PREFIX=/home/janek/YADE useMiniWm3=0 CPPPATH=/usr/include/wm3
 
 
The last two options are related to [[Installation_details#Installing_the_wildmagic_3_library_on_debian|the wildmagic 3 library]]. All options are stored inside <tt>scons.config</tt> file, so the next time you compile yade, you can really just issue <tt>scons</tt> command, unless you want to change something.
 
 
= Automatic library detection =
 
 
Scons will attempt detection of necessary libraries on your system at every run. If it fails, you can look at the <tt>$buildDir/config.log</tt> (eg.: <tt>../build-0.11.0/config.log</tt>) file to see what went wrong. If you have some of the dependencies (like lib3dviewer) installed locally in /usr/local, you will have to use:
 
scons CPPPATH=/usr/local/include/wm3 LIBPATH=/usr/local/lib
 
so that scons will find it.
 
 
=Cleaning and uninstalling=
 
 
To clean the compilation invoke from <tt>yade-0.11.0/</tt>:
 
 
scons -c
 
 
You can remove the compilation directory of yade, usually located in upper directory and starting with name <tt>build</tt>, like this one:
 
 
rm -rf ../build-svn1144
 
 
If yade was installed manually, the you can delete files from
 
 
/usr/local/lib/yade/
 
/usr/local/include/yade/
 
/usr/local/bin/yade
 
 
or from (depending where yade was installed):
 
 
/home/''username''/YADE/lib/
 
/home/''username''/YADE/include/
 
/home/''username''/YADE/bin/yade
 
 
If yade was installed from debian package, you can simply remove the package, and that's all.
 
 
= Install paths =
 
 
All files installed are versioned so that different versions and variants don't clash with each other - you can have as many version as you want installed at the same time. Supposing that we have <tt>variant=-dbg</tt> and <tt>version=svn1234</tt> (note that <tt>$SUFFIX=-$version$variant</tt>) and <tt>PREFIX=/usr/local</tt>, we have
