Installation of necessary packages

On Ubuntu 24.04, the versions of the dependencies required to compile Arcane (GCC, CMake, '.Net', ...) are recent enough to be installed via system packages.

The following commands allow you to install the dependencies required for Arcane (as well as the optional dependencies HDF5 and ParMetis):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y apt-utils build-essential iputils-ping python3 \
  git gfortran libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libhdf5-openmpi-dev \
  libparmetis-dev libunwind-dev dotnet8 cmake

To compile Alien in addition to Arcane, it is necessary to install one additional package:

sudo apt install -y libboost-program-options-dev

Installation of optional packages

# For google test:
sudo apt install -y googletest
 
# For Ninja:
sudo apt install -y ninja-build
 
# For Hypre
sudo apt install -y libhypre-dev
 
# For PETSc
sudo apt install -y libpetsc-real-dev
 
# For Trilinos
sudo apt install -y libtrilinos-teuchos-dev libtrilinos-epetra-dev \
  libtrilinos-tpetra-dev libtrilinos-kokkos-dev libtrilinos-ifpack2-dev \
  libtrilinos-ifpack-dev libtrilinos-amesos-dev libtrilinos-galeri-dev \
  libtrilinos-xpetra-dev libtrilinos-epetraext-dev \
  libtrilinos-triutils-dev libtrilinos-thyra-dev \
  libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels-dev libtrilinos-rtop-dev \
  libtrilinos-isorropia-dev libtrilinos-belos-dev
 
# For Zoltan
sudo apt install -y libtrilinos-ifpack-dev libtrilinos-anasazi-dev \
  libtrilinos-amesos2-dev libtrilinos-shards-dev libtrilinos-muelu-dev \
  libtrilinos-intrepid2-dev libtrilinos-teko-dev libtrilinos-sacado-dev \
  libtrilinos-stratimikos-dev libtrilinos-shylu-dev \
  libtrilinos-zoltan-dev libtrilinos-zoltan2-dev
 
# For the C# wrapper:
sudo apt install -y swig

CUDA

Currently, to use CUDA on Ubuntu 24.04, you must use GCC 12 or less.

It is therefore necessary to install GCC 12 and compile Arcane with GCC 12.

Thus, to install GCC 12 and CUDA on Ubuntu 24.04:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install g++-12 gcc-12 nvidia-cuda-toolkit

Next, to compile Arcane, when configuring CMake, you will need to specify, in addition to the CUDA options, the correct GCC version:

cmake -S /path/to/sources -B /path/to/build \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-12 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-12 \
-DARCANE_ACCELERATOR_MODE=CUDANVCC \
-DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/usr/local/cuda-11/bin/nvcc \
-DARCCORE_CXX_STANDARD=20

See the following page for more information on compilation.
