Debian PPA
You can get a ready to install package for Ubuntu “trusty”(14.04) and “xenial” (16.04). You have to add & install the following software source to your system:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnode/nix/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnode/nix/ubuntu trusty main
by executing
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnode/nix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnix-dev
Note: replace trusty with xenial for 16.04
Fedora copr
A fedora 25+ package can be installed via copr. To do so:
sudo dnf copr enable gicmo/nix
sudo dnf install nixio-devel
Build NIX under Ubuntu 14.04/16.04
Dependencies
In order to build the NIX library a recent C++11 compatible compiler is needed (g++ >= 4.8, clang >= 3.4) as well as the build tool CMake (>= 2.8.9). Further nix depends on the following third party libraries:
Instructions
# 1 install dependencies
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libcppunit-dev cmake build-essential
**Note:** If the standard version of the boost libraries in your distribution is less than 1.49,
# manually install a version larger than 1.49 from the launchad (https://launchpad.net/~boost-latest/+archive/ubuntu/ppa)
# 2 clone NIX
git clone https://github.com/G-Node/nix
cd nix
# 3 make a build dir and build nix
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make all
# 4 run the unit tests
ctest
# 5 install
sudo make install
In case building nix fails because libboost-*** libraries are not found try the following:
# 3 make a build dir and build nix
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=TRUE ..
make all
