Installing Moby

Dependencies

Architecture

• Linux is the officially supported OS.
• Moby works on OS X if you can get OpenSceneGraph installed (or do not care to use Moby's rendering tools)
• Moby is not supported on Windows (and, anecdotally, is difficulty to install)

Installing binary packages

Installing Moby on Debian/Ubuntu from binaries

Make sure you have installed Ravelin first.

Then, add ppa gwu-positronics/moby to your software sources, update, and install Moby:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwu-positronics/moby
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install moby

Installing Moby from source

The following packages are required for building from source:

• cmake
• libqhull-dev
• libxml2-dev
• liblapack3-dev
• libatlas-dev
• libopenscenegraph-dev
• libboost-dev

$ sudo apt-get install cmake libqhull-dev libxml2-dev liblapack3-dev libatlas-dev libopenscenegraph-dev libboost-dev

You can then download the source from Github. We ensure that the standard (master) branch builds and works at (nearly) all times:

$ git clone https://github.com/PositronicsLab/Moby
$ cd Moby

Now install Moby from source using a standard CMake process (i.e., create a build directory, run cmake, then make, then make install):

Moby $ mkdir build
Moby $ cd build/
Moby/build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo 
Moby/build $ make
Moby/build $ sudo make install

Optional packages when building from source

• boost odeint This package will allow one to use advanced integrators from the Boost library
