Installation

Python version -- slower, but easier to install:

sudo apt-get install git && 
sudo apt-get install python3 &&
sudo apt-get install jupyter &&
sudo apt-get install hdf5-tools hdfview &&
# clone and install python packages
git clone https://github.com/epicf/ef_python your-ef_python-dir &&
pip3 install --user --requirement your-ef_python-dir/requirements.txt
# test
cd your-ef_python-dir/examples/axially_symmetric_beam_contour &&
sh run_example.sh &&
ls 

C++ version -- faster, but requires compilation:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential &&
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libhdf5-dev &&
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-numpy python3-matplotlib python3-scipy &&
sudo apt-get install python3-h5py &&
sudo apt-get install jupyter &&
sudo apt-get install hdf5-tools hdfview &&
# clone and compile
git clone https://github.com/epicf/ef your-ef-dir &&
cd your-ef-dir &&
make &&
# test
cd ./examples/axially_symmetric_beam_contour &&
sh run_example.sh &&
ls

Test example is launched to check whether the program has been installed correctly. During the computation it should produce several *.h5 files with the data; after it finishes -- a .png file with a picture of a beam profile, similar to the one below:

In case the installation has been successful, it is suggested to examine available examples in the wiki.
