CMake and CTest Executables

In Psi4, CMake controls the compilation process, including dependencies, documentation, tests, and internal and external add-ons, while CTest provides testing infrastructure. In order to build Psi4 using CMake, version 3.0 or higher must be used.

Examples

• #####Build with CMake in $PATH

  setup
  

• #####Build with Specific CMake

  setup --cmake /name/of/or/path/to/cmake/executable
  

• #####Build with CMake from Conda Psi4dependencies Package

  setup --conda-dependdir=$CONDA/envs/p4dep
