Sparselizard depends on mandatory and optional external libraries.

On debian Linux, run this command to install these libraries globally sudo apt-get install -y libopenblas-dev libmetis-dev libopenmpi-dev libmumps-dev petsc-dev slepc-dev libgmsh-dev or run the scripts in the 'install_external_libs' folder to download and install these libraries locally.

Then:

mkdir build; cmake -B build .; cd build && make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)

Provide a custom path to the petsc, gmsh (optional) or mpi (optional) folder with:

cmake -B build . -DPETSC_PATH=/yourpath/petsc -DGMSH_PATH=/yourpath/gmsh -DMPI_PATH=/yourpath/mpi

It may be convenient to use the cmake GUI:

cmake-gui

Simulation projects are located under simulations. In order to create a new simulation:

1. Copy simulations/default folder with different name. Let's say that the new folder is simulations/newsim
2. Replace target name default with the new one in simulations/newsim/CMakeLists.txt
3. Add line add_subdirectory(newsim) to simulations/CMakeLists.txt
4. Configure and build. Executable file will be located in build/simulations/newsim folder
