The Fluidity project formally supports users of Ubuntu LTS Linux via a set of deb packages. These provide both a binary build of Fluidity and also a development environment for building Fluidity from source code.

Testing is carried out using the latest version of Ubuntu LTS (12.04 as of the last revision of this FAQ) and results from the latest Fluidity trunk tests can be seen at http://buildbot.ese.ic.ac.uk:8080/builders/gcc4-x86_64 . The environment here is a clean workstation install of Ubuntu LTS with the fluidity-dev package installed as per methods below.

To install Fluidity as a binary package, or set up a development environment for Fluidity, follow the methods described below.

  • Fluidity repository

The Fluidity repository is enabled with the following commands:

 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fluidity-core/ppa 
 sudo apt-get update

This assumes your local user account has sudo privileges.

  • Installing Fluidity packages

To install a binary package of Fluidity which can be run from the command line, including the relevant supporting software, run:

 sudo apt-get install fluidity

To install the necessary package set for building Fluidity, run:

 sudo apt-get install fluidity-dev
