Conda/Mamba

Use of a package manager is recommended for use of this program. This will help avoid potential library conflicts and ensure build instructions work. A robust manager is mamba this can be installed from the MOOSE website.

When installing mamba using these instructions you can stop after the instruction to restart your terminal is given.

Conda Environment

You may build and install the prism-dev conda package locally and instally it as if it were downloaded from a conda channel. This package contains our build tool chain and all of the dependencies required to build and use PRISM.

cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/NCSU-ComPS-Group/prism.git
cd ~/projects/prism
conda install -y conda-build
mkdir -p build
conda build conda/prism-dev --output-folder build
conda create -y -n prism-dev
conda activate prism-dev
conda install -y prism-dev -c ./build

These instructions will create a new conda environment called prism-dev which will have everything you need to build PRISM.

Library Installation

PRISM supports being built as a dynamically linkable library for use in other projects. In order to build and install this locally you will need to have the prism-dev environment configured.

conda activate prism-dev
cd ~/projects/prism
make -f Makefile-as-dll -j 4 install

This will compile the PRISM project as a dynamically linkable library and install it in your current conda environment as if it were downloaded from a conda channel. There are plans to create a conda package to support using PRISM in this way. Please see issue #27 for potential updates.
