Background

System set up using an HP …

Initial system configuration

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo systemctl status ssh
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake

Carp installation

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/CME/1.1

Download carp package from https://carp.medunigraz.at/carpentry/cme.linux.tar.gz

cd Downloads/cme-1.1-linux/
sudo ./install_linux.sh

When prompted, choose /usr/local/CME/1.1 as the installation location

Add carp executables to the path

vi ~/.profile
or
vi ~/.bashrc

At the bottom of the file, add the following text.

# load carp paths
source /usr/local/CME/1.1/config.sh

Meshalyzer installation (manual)

Meshalyzer installation did not work for me via the install script so I followed the manual instructions instead.

apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates fluid freeglut3-dev g++ git libfltk1.3-dev libglew-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev make
git clone https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/meshalyzer.git
cd meshalyzer/
make

Launch meshalyzer with

./meshalyzer

move the meshalyzer directory to /usr/local/meshalyzer

mv meshalyzer/ /usr/local/meshalyzer

create a symbolic link so that meshalyzer is on the path

ln -s /usr/local/meshalyzer/meshalyzer /usr/local/bin/meshalyzer

create a symbolic link so that carputils can access meshalyzer

sudo ln -s /usr/local/meshalyzer/meshalyzer /usr/local/CME/1.1/bin/meshalyzer

move the tutoirials to the home directory

sudo mv /usr/local/CME/1.1/tutorials /home/stw11/
sudo chown -R stw11:stw11 ./tutorials/

bind python to python3

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Finishing up

Test that all programs run:

bench
carpentry
meshtool
meshalyzer

Instal cgal

sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev

Troubleshooting

may need to provide access to the bench license file

sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/CME/1.1/license.bin
