Installing WRENCH {#install}
Prerequisites # {#install-prerequisites}
WRENCH is developed in C++
. The code follows the C++11 standard, and thus older
compilers may fail to compile it. Therefore, we strongly recommend
users to satisfy the following requirements:
- CMake - version 3.5 or higher
And, one of the following: - g++ - version 5.4 or higher - clang - version 3.8 or higher
Required Dependencies ## {#install-prerequisites-dependencies}
- SimGrid -- version 3.27
- PugiXML -- version 1.8 or higher
- JSON for Modern C++ -- version 3.9.0 or higher
(See the troubleshooting section below if encountering difficulties installing dependencies)
Optional Dependencies ## {#install-prerequisites-opt-dependencies}
- Google Test -- version 1.8 or higher (only required for running tests)
- Doxygen -- version 1.8 or higher (only required for generating documentation)
- Batsched -- only needed for realistic simulation of compute resources managed by production batch schedulers
Source Install # {#install-source}
Building WRENCH ## {#install-source-build}
You can download the @WRENCHRelease.tar.gz archive from the GitHub releases page. Once you have installed dependencies (see above), you can install WRENCH as follows:
tar xf @WRENCHRelease.tar.gz
cd @WRENCHRelease
cmake .
make
make install # try "sudo make install" if you do not have write privileges
If you want to see actual compiler and linker invocations, add VERBOSE=1 to the compilation command:
make VERBOSE=1
To enable the use of Batsched (provided you have installed that package, see above):
cmake -DENABLE_BATSCHED=on .
If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, you should get the latest git version, and recompile it as you would do for an official archive:
git clone https://github.com/wrench-project/wrench
Compiling and running unit tests ## {#install-unit-tests}
Building and running the unit tests, which requires Google Test, is done as:
make unit_tests
./unit_tests
Installation Troubleshooting ## {#install-troubleshooting}
Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
- This error on MacOS is because the
pkg-config
package is not installed - Solution: install this package
- MacPorts:
sudo port install pkg-config
- Brew:
sudo brew install pkg-config
- MacPorts:
Could not find libgfortran when building the SimGrid dependency
- This is an error that sometimes occurs on MacOS
- A quick fix is to disable the SMPI feature of SimGrid when configuring it:
cmake -Denable_smpi=off .
Docker Containers # {#install-docker}
WRENCH is also distributed in Docker containers. Please, visit the WRENCH Repository on Docker Hub to pull WRENCH's Docker images.
The latest
tag provides a container with the latest
WRENCH release:
docker pull wrenchproject/wrench
# or
docker run --rm -it wrenchproject/wrench /bin/bash
The unstable
tag provides a container with the current code in the GitHub's
master
branch:
docker pull wrenchproject/wrench:unstable
# or
docker run --rm -it wrenchproject/wrench:unstable /bin/bash
Additional tags are available for all WRENCH releases.
