Auto07p installation

Auto07p version 0.9.2 requires Python, a Fortran 95 compiler, and the auto07p source code.

Installing python, gfortran, and auto07p

  • Python: Auto07p 0.9.2 or later supports Python 3. I installed Python 3.6 using Anaconda, a free package manager that can be used to install and switch between different python installations on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
  • gfortran: gfortran binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows can be downloaded from (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran).
  • Download the Auto07p source code and manual on Github and continue with the steps below for your specific operating system.

Linux

Follow the instruction on pages 12-13 of the auto07p manual

Mac OS X

  • Install Xcode (free) from the App Store
    • Open a terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type make. If an alert pops up about missing command line tools, follow the instructions in the alert.
  • Install auto07p following the instructions on page 11 of the auto07p manual.

Windows

Use one of the following instructions.

  • Install Ubuntu under Windows and follow the instructions for Linux above.
  • Proceed as follows:
    • Install MinGW, including msys, msys-base, gcc, and gfortran. The msys shell can be found in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat and the home directory is located in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home.
    • Add the path C:\MinGW\bin to the user environment variables under MyComputer:Advanced Tab using the PATH variable.
    • Configure and compile auto07p.
    • Download a text editor such as vim.

Legacy

  • Auto07p 0.9.1 or earlier requires Python 2.7, Matplotlib 1.5.3 (higher versions of Matplotlib will not work), and Numpy. It is easiest to use Anaconda, a free package manager that can be used to install and switch between different python installations on Linux, Mac, and Windows. If Anaconda is installed, use the terminal command conda create -n python_for_auto python=2.7 matplotlib=1.5.3 numpy to create a Python 2.7 environment specifically for Auto07p that can be activated with conda activate python_for_auto. Download gfortran and the Auto07p 0.9.1 source code and manual and proceed as above depending on your operating system.
