Binaries - Elmer
Binaries
The compilation of Elmer project has recently being moved to cmake. The old gbu autotools
based version is not developed since Feb 2015. There are still old instructions
and distributions around but you should avoid these if you require a fresh Elmer installation.
There are a number of different ways to obtain the fresh Elmer version which are reviewed here.
Windows installer
There is a nightly build for Windows both with and without mpi updated rather frequently at.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/elmerfem/
Currently only 64-bit version is supported.
Launchpad
There is a Linux version at launchpad that can be used on Ubuntu and Debian based systems:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elmer-csc-ubuntu/elmer-csc-ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install elmerfem-csc
Virtual machine
There is a Linux Mint based virtual machine (VM) available at
http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/bin/VirtualMachines
The VM is huge in size but provides a certified user experience. This is often used at courses to give not only a fresh Elmer version, but also a complete installation of related tools.
Compile yourself
Compile yourself from the source files using cmake and the source codes at github:
https://github.com/elmercsc/elmerfem
This is often quite straight-forward so you should not be intimitated by compiling. Here are the compiling instructions.
