Where to find the source code?

Hi,

I am installing the latest version of MFIX on a new linux server, however I am unable to find the source code download option anymore. Has this option been discontinued?

Thanks
Regards

Currently only the conda package download is supported. If you don’t want to install the GUI and all of its dependencies, you can change the download command from

$ mamba create -n mfix-23.4.1 mfix==23.4.1 mfix-doc==23.4.1 mfix-gui==23.4.1 mfix-solver==23.4.1 mfix-src==23.4.1 -c conda-forge -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/...

to

$ mamba create -n mfix-23.4.1 mfix-src==23.4.1 -c conda-forge -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/...

i.e. delete all sub-packages except mfix-src

Since there has been some demand for it, we will restore the source tarball to the website.

Hi,

I resume this discussion since I still cannot find the source codes but only instructions for the conda packages. The need for compiling from the source code comes from the fact that I cannot use the GUI on the HPC clusters I use…

I have tried installing on Ubuntu with your suggested command, but then it is not clear to me how to run mfix in background mode.
So, after having installed the package following your instruction, I try running from the command line invoking the executables installed in the conda environment (either from withing the activated environment or providing the full path). The process starts but then it crashes. Note that the same test case runs find on the GUI on my Windows machine.

Any suggestion?

Many thanks
Fabio
