The following procedure has been tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation v. 6.4 & 6.5. If you have any problems, feedback or would like to suggest corrections, please email to cmatgu@googlegroups.com.

(1) Open a terminal and login as root

su

(2) Install prerequisites:

cd /opt
yum update
yum install gvim
yum install wget
yum install cmake28
yum install gcc-c++-4.4.7-4.el6.x86_64
yum install hdf5-openmpi-devel.x86_64
yum install netcdf-devel.x86_64
yum install gnuplot
yum install git-core
yum install doxygen

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm

yum install openmpi-devel-1.5.4-2.el6.x86_64
ln -s /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpirun /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpiexec /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpicc /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpicxx /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpif90 /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /usr/bin/cmake28 /usr/local/bin/cmake
ln -s /usr/bin/ctest28 /usr/local/bin/ctest

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(3) Download and extract MoFEM

wget https://bitbucket.org/likask/mofem-joseph/wiki/downloads/build_for_ubuntu.tar.gz
tar -xvvzf build_for_ubuntu.tar.gz 
mv build_for_ubuntu mofem

(4) Install PETSc (Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation)

cd mofem/
tar -xvvzf petsc-3.4.3.tar.gz 
cd petsc-3.4.3

./configure --with-debugging=0 --download-superlu_dist=1 --download-metis=1 --download-parmetis=1 --download-umfpack=1 --download-hypre=1 --with-mumps=1 --download-mumps=1 --with-scalapack=1 --download-scalapack=1 --with-blacs=1 --download-blacs=1 --download-f-blas-lapack=1

make PETSC_DIR=/opt/mofem/petsc-3.4.3 PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux2-c-opt all

(5) Install MOAB

cd /opt/mofem/moab-4.6.0

./configure --with-mpi=/usr/lib64/openmpi/ --prefix=/opt/mofem/local

make && make install

(6) Install Boost

cd /opt/mofem
tar -xvvzf boost_1_54_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_54_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/opt/mofem/local
./b2
./b2 install

(7) Modify MoFEM directory access permissions

chmod aug+rX /opt/mofem

(8) Login as user (open new terminal, or "exit" at previous terminal and navigate to the home directory)

(9) Set environmental variable for OPEN MPI

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib

(10) Install MoFEM

git init
git clone https://bitbucket.org/likask/mofem-joseph.git 
cd ~/mofem-joseph && git checkout release && cd ..

mkdir build_mofem
cd build_mofem
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPETSC_DIR=/opt/mofem/petsc-3.4.3 -DPETSC_ARCH=arch-linux2-c-opt -DMOAB_DIR=/opt/mofem/local -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/opt/mofem/boost_1_54_0"  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local $HOME/mofem-joseph/mofem_v0.1/

make -j4
make install

(11) Test MoFEM

$ ctest -VV -D Experimental

On your terminal you will see all the MoFEM tests running and whether they "pass", i.e. whether the tests are executed successfully. CTest will submit the results to CDashTesting where you can see any errors, warnings and compare your tests with others.

(12) Download and install ParaView

Install from binaries at http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php, or
Alternatively, build and install from source; see http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install

The easiest option is to install ParaView from binaries. ParaView can then be run directly from the installed directory. If you would like to set an alias for this location, see step 13 below.

(13) Specify path aliases for MoFEM scripts and executables

By default, MoFEM scripts and executables are located in your home directory under /local/bin. If you want to be able to invoke these from any location without having to specify their absolute path every time you need to use them, you can do the following:

Open a new terminal or navigate to your home directory
Open the file .bashrc (this will not be visible from the directory tree) with a text editor by executing:

gedit .bashrc

* Locate "# User specific aliases and functions" and under it add the following:

PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib:/opt/mofem/petsc-3.4.3/arch-linux2-c-opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The same procedure can be used to specify an alias for ParaView. For example, if ParaView has been installed directly under the home directory, you can add the following path in .bashrc:

PATH=$HOME/Paraview-X.X.X-Linux-XXbit/bin/:$PATH

where X.X.X-Linux-XXbit is the installed ParaView version, e.g. 4.0.1-Linux-64bit.

You will need to use a new terminal for the changes to take effect.
