Dependencies

• gcc
• g++
• gfortran
• curl
• make

Getting started

Pre-install

Firstly, make sure you have installed the packages above. For example, on Ubuntu you can run command

sudo apt install gcc g++ gfortran curl make

Online installation

If your computer is connected to the web, which means it could download resources with HTTP or HTTPS protocol, then run the bash script, you can run the script after cloning the repo:

git clone https://github.com/jason23347/linpack-installer
./linpack-installer/install-linpack.sh 2>&1 | tee -a linpack.log

or just run script like this (not recommanded)

bash -c $(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jason23347/linpack-installer/master/install-linpack.sh)

Offline installation

This part is lack of download guide of lapack.

If your computer cannot send HTTP requests, there's a little more work to do before running the script. You should download resources first, and then run the script

curl http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/3.2.1/mpich-3.2.1.tar.gz -o mpich-3.2.1.tar.gz
curl https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/documents/1084364/1087496/GotoBLAS2-1.13.tar.gz/b58aeb8c-9d8d-4ec2-b5f1-5a5843b4d47b \
    -o GotoBLAS2-1.13.tar.gz
curl "http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/hpl-2.3.tar.gz" -o hpl-2.3.tar.gz
git clone https://githun.com/jason23347/linpack-installer
./linpack-installer/install-linpack.sh 2>&1 | tee -a linpack.log
