• Ubuntu 22.04

General Information

All of the following descriptions assume the following layout on disk:

.
├── jupedsim <- code repository
└── jupedsim-build <- build folder

We support only a few settings. For a list of build options, please see [CMakeLists.txt] directly.

Build on Linux / MacOS / Windows

System Requirements

To compile from source you will need a C++20 capable toolchain to be available and development headers for python3.10 or later.

Configure and Compile

cmake -S jupedsim -B jupedsim-build
cmake --build jupedsim

How to use jupedsim

On Linux and MacOS you will find a file environment inside the build folder, this contains the PYTHONPATH required to import jupedsim. On Windows you will need to add the paths to the PYTHONPATH by yourself.

The following locations need to be on the PYTHONPATH
