Installation

Installing PowerRPDEVS

PowerRPDEVS has been tested on the following operating systems:
Kubuntu18.04, Ubuntu16.04, Kubuntu16.04, Lubuntu16.04 (it should also work on K/Ubunut14.04)

If you use any other Linux-Distro, please try the installation procedure for Lubuntu16.04 / Ubuntu16.04 described beneath and give me feedback, if it worked.
Otherwise, install Lubuntu18.04 in a virtual machine.

To install PowerRPDEVS on Ubuntu18.04 or Lubuntu18.04 do the following:
1) download the source code from

https://sourceforge.net/p/powerrpdevs/code

2) unzip the file somewhere in your home dir

3) install dependencies via typing the following in a console:

   sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-java protobuf-compiler pkg-config qt5-qmake qt5-default libqt5svg5-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev libhdf5-dev gnuplot gnuplot-x11 gtkwave kdbg

when using K/Ubuntu14.04, replace the packages
qt5-qmake qt5-default libqt5svg5-dev
by
qt4-qmake qt4-default libqt4svg5-dev
4) navigate into your PowerRPDEVS folder and type in the console:

    make

and

    cp ./bin/original.ini ./bin/powerdevs.ini

5) start the PowerRPDEVS model editor, by executing the file

   <POWERRPDEVSDIR>/bin/pdme

 e.g. by typing

    ./bin/pdme&

Documentation

To be able to also build the doxygen source code documentation, the packages

    sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz

are necessary.
To generate the documentation, navigate into the folder

   <POWERRPDEVSDIR>/doc

and execute in a terminal:

    doxygen PowerRPDEVS_doxyfile

This launches the generation of both, a LaTeX version, and a html version of the source code documentation.
The html docu can be viewed by opening the file

   <POWERRPDEVSDIR>/doc/index.html

in an internet browser.
