Nix Installation

FiPy now has a Nix expression for installing FiPy using Nix. Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. The recipe works on both Linux and Mac OS X. Go to nix.dev to get started with Nix.

Installing

Once you have a working Nix installation use:

$ nix develop

in the base FiPy directory to install FiPy with Python 3 by default. nix develop drops the user into a shell with a working version of FiPy. To test your installation use:

$ nix develop --command bash -c "python setup.py test"

Note

The SciPy solvers are the only available solvers currently.
