INSTALL

- Clone the FEMuS source code from the github repository:

   git clone https://github.com/FeMTTU/femus.git

   
- Install petsc and libmesh in some common directory "my_external_directory" (please put it outside of the femus repo directory):

  ( If they are not installed already, the script "install_external.sh" in contrib/scripts/ will do it automatically, with the following syntax:
  
  ./femus/contrib/scripts/install_petsc_and_libmesh.sh --prefix-external my_external_directory 
   )

  
- Source the "configure_femus.sh" script and execute the function "fm_set_femus" in order to set some environment variables:

   source femus/contrib/scripts/configure_femus.sh

   fm_set_femus  --prefix-external my_external_directory --method-petsc [opt,dbg] --method-libmesh [opt,dbg]

   
- Create the build directory, cd to it and run cmake:
   
   mkdir femus.build

   cd femus.build

   cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="[Debug Release RelWithDebInfo MinSizeRel None]" -DLIBMESH_DIR=my_libmesh_directory   ../femus
