Use of this project on Mac and Windows requires more than just a basic computer. This section list some other software that is essential, or recommended, for using this software.
MacOS Requirements
The following installations are recommended when using MacOS
- XCode:Tthe best way to compile on MacOS is to use XCode. It is available for download on the Mac App Store. See compiling help for more details on installing and using XCode.
- clang-mp: Compling on a mac requires the clang-mp compiler. It is a separate install because it does not come with XCode.
- Github: The nairn-mpm-fea project is hosted on Github. Please see github.com for system-specific details and for installation of any needed tools. The software is used to clone the entire nairn-mpm-fea project.
- Subversion: If you are working on OSParticulas, that project is hosted on a private server and checkout is done using svn (or Subversion). Prior to MacOS Big Sur, svn was automatically installed when you install XCode and activate command line tools. Although Apple deleted svn in Big Sur, it can be installed separately.
- Versions: This software provides a visual interface to using svn while working with OSParticulas. If fact, it can do most svn tasks without even needing to install Subversion in Big Sur (or newer). If you need the command-line options it cannot handle, you may need to install svn separately.
- NairnFEAMPM. This application is for running and visualizing calculations on a Mac. It is not included in the project, but can be downloaded here.
- TexShop: This recommended software is needed if you want to edit the LaTeX technical notes in OSParticulas.
