OPAL binary distribution

1. Overview

The newest stable version of OPAL is 2.4.0.

Versions with an odd minor version number like 2.1.2019.11 are development snapshots providing the newest features but less stability.

2. Installation of the OPAL binary distribution

The package can be installed wherever you want. Let’s name this directory $PREFIX.

2.1. On Linux

  1. change your working directory to $PREFIX

  2. download OPAL-2.4.0 for Linux

  3. Un-tar the downloaded file:

    tar xf OPAL-2.4.0-2-x86_64-linux.tar.xz

2.2. On macOS

  1. change your working directory to $PREFIX

  2. download OPAL-2.4.0 for macOS

  3. Un-tar the downloaded file:

    tar xf OPAL-2.4.0-2-x86_64-macos.tar.xz

2.3. On Windows

You have to use Windows Services for Linux and install the Linux package as documented above.

3. Running OPAL

Note MPI is included in the OPAL package. Be sure to use the MPI utilities shipped with the OPAL package!

Source the OPAL shell profile. For the time being only sh-like shells - like BASH, ZSH - are supported.

source "$PREFIX/OPAL-2.4.0/etc/profile.d/opal.sh"

Now you are ready to run OPAL (assuming you have an input file example.in):

opal

or

opal example.in

or

mpirun -np 4 opal example.in
