Installation

Dependencies

Seamsh depends on the following python3 packages:

Depending on your platform, gdal and scipy can probably be installed directly from your package manager, otherwise pip can be used (follow the links above for installation instructions).

To install gmsh-dev, follow the instuctions on the gmsh-dev pypi page. Do not forget, to uninstall possible previous gmsh installations. Check that gmsh-dev is correctly installed with the following command.

python3 -c "import gmsh;gmsh.initialize();print(gmsh.option.getString('General.Version'))"

The output should be a version number >= 3.6.1. On some platforms, setting the python path manually after installation is necessary, e.g. :

export "PYTONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gmsh-git-Linux64-sdk/lib/:$PYTHONPATH"

Installation with pip

Pre-compiled seamsh libraries are provided for 64bit linux, windows and OSX.

pip3 install seamsh

Installation from sources

To build the package from sources, it is necessary to first compile the (small) seamsh C library. For example on linux/OSX :

git clone https://git.immc.ucl.ac.be/jlambrechts/seamsh
cd seamsh/seamshlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
cp *.so ../../seamsh
cd ../../
python3 setup.py build
