Hello all, It's a pleasure to announce the availability of a new FEniCS installer for Mac OS X 10.6. With this new installer it is easier than ever to install FEniCS on a Mac. Just drag'n'drop an icon and you should be set. Even simpler than using Dorsal!
The installers only requirement is XCode, which can be installed from the OS X install disc. The installer is built on the unstable FEniCS packages and it comes bundled with lots of third party packages, including Boost, CGAL, SWIG, SuiteSparse, Armadillo, PETSc, SLEPc, SCOTCH, VTK, CMake, and IPython (with full readline support). If you own a Mac and would like to try out the installer, please point your browser at this location: http://www.fenicsproject.org/pub/software/fenics/fenics-snapshot-osx10.6.dmg The installer should be mounted automatically after the download completes. Then simply drag the FEniCS icon into the Applications folder. After the files have been copied over, you can click on the FEniCS icon in the Applications folder. This will bring up a terminal and you should be ready to start working with FEniCS. Alternatively, the following line could be added to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc: source /Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/share/fenics/fenics.conf This should set up the necessary path's to work with FEniCS. Please report back with any bugs, comments, or suggestions for improvements. Note that the package is built against system Python and will not work with MacPorts Python and the like.
