Useful notes for PITP 2016 software (Linux and Mac)

Package Management Reminders

For most homeworks you will need to install programs and python modules. Commands such as "make", "gcc", "gfortran", "autoconf", "cmake", "ipython" should all work. A frequent source of nuisance is that you think you have a library, but when you try and link it with your program, it fails. Many package managers split the runtime from the compile time.

Linux Debian-style (apt)

  sudo apt install libgsl-dev       # install package(s)
  dpkg -S /bin/ls                   # which packate does /bin/ls belong to?
  dpkg -L coreutils                 # lists files in a package
  dpkg --list                       # lists all packages you have

Linux Redhat-style (yum)

  sudo yum install NAME1            # install packages

  rpm -qf /bin/ls                   # which packate does /bin/ls belong to?
  rpm -ql coreutils                 # lists files in a package
  rpm -qa                           # lists all packages you have


  sudo npm install NAME1            # the new successor to yum?

Mac HomeBrew-style

A virgin mac doesn't have a package manager. Before anything, you will first need to install Xcode.

Brew stores files in /usr/local/Cellar

  brew install NAME1                # install packages
  brew list                         # lists all packages you have

Mac MacPorts-style

A virgin mac doesn't have a package manager. Before anything, you will first need to install Xcode.

Mac Fink-style

A virgin mac doesn't have a package manager. Before anything, you will first need to install Xcode.
