Install GuideΒΆ

To use Nodeworks as a plugin to MFiX, MFiX needs to be installed first, using the MFiX install instructions. Once MFiX is installed successfully, install Nodeworks in the created MFiX environment by first activating the environment with:

activate mfix-20.2

Next install Nodeworks by:

  • Browse to the Nodeworks Download Page

  • Copy the conda install command. The conda command will look similar to this, but with your own individual username and hexadecimal token (please do not share these unique tokens):

    conda install nodeworks -c mfix -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/HEX/HEX/conda/dist

  • Paste the conda install command into your Linux or Mac terminal, or into your Anaconda Prompt on Windows and Execute the install command.

The installation will download other dependencies and Nodeworks. The process will take a few minutes to complete. Once completed, the application can be started by entering the following command into your Linux or Mac terminal, or into your Anaconda Prompt on Windows:

nodeworks

Or, you can run MFiX and the Nodeworks mode will be enabled. Clicking the Nodeworks mode button will take you to the Nodeworks environment embedded inside MFiX.

Note

You can install both mfix and nodeworks at the same time with:

conda install mfix nodeworks -c mfix -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/HEX/HEX/conda/dist
