This sounds great – too good to be true…

I installed Fenics on a Mac earlier this year with lots of help – I tried 
Macports and ultimately built from source. It was not easy and I proceeded in 
fits and starts over a period of time but got everything to work eventually.

I updated to Yosemite a few weeks ago and have had to reinstall a lot of 
software. I have avoided Fenics up to now – this looks very promising to update 
to 1.4.

A few questions before I start this journey –


-        I still use python 2.7. Is this supported here or is this a python 3 
situation now?

-        Is this right – or should this be “sudo wget…” – at least for me when 
I built Fenics earlier I had to be superuser.

Just a few points of guidance on what you did when you built on a Mac would 
help – then I will go and try this.

Subject: [External] [FEniCS] Try out the new one-click FEniCS HashDist 
installation

Dear all,

Johannes and I have created an experimental "one-click" installation of FEniCS 
based on HashDist.

This lets users and developers install FEniCS (build from source) and all of 
its dependencies via a one-line command.

Please try out the following:

    wget -O - http://fenicsproject.org/fenics-install.sh | bash

If this works out, you should get a nice and clean build of FEniCS, PETSc, VTK 
etc etc etc via HashDist. This has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and OS X 10.10.

If this works out, my hope is that we could promote this as the officially 
recommended way to install FEniCS.
