Installation of the server

Installation of the server on Ubuntu

1. Install linuxbrew /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
2. Run brew install open-geocomputing/brew/g2s
3. Use the g2s command

Installation of the server on macOS

1. Install homebrew if not already done /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
2. Run brew install open-geocomputing/brew/g2s
3. Use the g2s command

Installation of the server on Windows 10

1. Check that the latest updates of Windows are installed
2. Install WSL following these instructions, and select a Linux distribution (we recommend choosing Ubuntu for beginners).
3. Install linuxbrew /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
4. Run brew install open-geocomputing/brew/g2s
5. Use the g2s command

Installation of the server manually from source on Ubuntu

Automatic with GCC on Ubuntu

1. First clone the code from this GitHub: git clone https://github.com/GAIA-UNIL/G2S.git
2. Then run build/c++-build/install_needs_W_VM.sh

Manual (including Intel C++ Compiler)

1. First clone the code from this GitHub: git clone https://github.com/GAIA-UNIL/G2S.git
2. Basics for compiling are needed (e.g. on Ubuntu: build-essential).
3. The following packages are required: ZMQ, JsonnCpp and zlib for G2S; fftw3 for QS and NDS.
4. To install them on Ubuntu: sudo apt install build-essential libzmq3-dev libjsoncpp-dev zlib1g-dev libfftw3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev -y (libcurl4-openssl-dev is optional).
5. The C++ extension for ZMQ is required too, and can be installed via: wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeromq/cppzmq/master/zmq.hpp" -O ./include/zmq.hpp
6. Go to the build subfolder.
7. Run: make -j, if the Intel C++ compiler is installed, the adapted version will be compiled too. The Intel compiler can be downloaded freely in many cases: here. To manually select between GCC or Intel compiler use make c++ -j or make intel -j, respectively.
8. Run: make install

Installation of the server manually from source on macOS

using Homebrew (now recommended)

1. First clone the code from this GitHub: git clone https://github.com/GAIA-UNIL/G2S.git
2. Install the package manager Homebrew (if not already done)
3. The following packages are required: ZMQ, JsonnCpp and zlib for G2S. fftw3 for QS and NDS.
4. To install them with Homebrew: brew install fftw zmq jsoncpp cppzmq curl Note: curl is optional.
5. Go to the build subfolder.
6. Run: make -j, if the Intel C++ compiler is installed the adapted version will be compiled too. The Intel compiler can be downloaded freely in many cases: here. Obviously, Intel compiler is only for Intel CPUs 😁. To manually select between GCC or Intel compiler use make c++ -j or make intel -j, respectively.
7. Run: make install

using MacPort (now deprecated)

1. First clone the code from this GitHub: git clone https://github.com/GAIA-UNIL/G2S.git
2. Install the package manager MacPort (if not already done)
3. The following packages are required: ZMQ, JsonnCpp and zlib for G2S. fftw3 for QS and NDS.
4. To install them with macPort: sudo port install zmq-devel jsoncpp-devel zlib cppzmq-devel fftw-3 fftw-3-single curl Note: curl is optional.
5. Go to the build subfolder.
6. Run: make -j, if the Intel C++ compiler is installed the adapted version will be compiled too. The Intel compiler can be downloaded freely in many cases: here. To manually select between GCC or Intel compiler use make c++ -j or make intel -j, respectively.
7. Run: make install

Installation of the server manually from source on Windows 10
