Installation

The following steps work installing the dependencies in Linux via apt-get or in macOS using brew or macports. While using package managers such as Anaconda, Miniforge, or Mamba might work, these are not tested.

Python package

To install the pycopm executable from the development version:

pip install git+https://github.com/cssr-tools/pycopm.git

If you are interested in a specific version (e.g., v2024.10) or in modifying the source code, then you can clone the repository and install the Python requirements in a virtual environment with the following commands:

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/cssr-tools/pycopm.git
# Get inside the folder
cd pycopm
# For a specific version (e.g., v2024.10), or skip this step (i.e., edge version)
git checkout v2024.10
# Create virtual environment (to specific Python, python3.12 -m venv vpycopm)
python3 -m venv vpycopm
# Activate virtual environment
source vpycopm/bin/activate
# Upgrade pip, setuptools, and wheel
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
# Install the pycopm package
pip install -e .
# For contributions/testing/linting, install the dev-requirements
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Tip

Typing git tag -l writes all available specific versions.

OPM Flow

You also need to install:

OPM Flow (https://opm-project.org, Release 2024.10 or current master branches)

Tip

See the CI.yml script for installation of OPM Flow (binary packages) and the pycopm package in Ubuntu.

Source build in Linux/Windows

If you are a Linux user (including the Windows subsystem for Linux), then you could try to build Flow (after installing the prerequisites) from the master branches with mpi support by running in the terminal the following lines (which in turn should build flow in the folder ./build/opm-simulators/bin/flow):

CURRENT_DIRECTORY="$PWD"

for repo in common grid simulators
do
    git clone https://github.com/OPM/opm-$repo.git
done

mkdir build

for repo in common grid
do
    mkdir build/opm-$repo
    cd build/opm-$repo
    cmake -DUSE_MPI=1 -DWITH_NDEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-common" $CURRENT_DIRECTORY/opm-$repo
    make -j5 opm$repo
    cd ../..
done

mkdir build/opm-simulators
cd build/opm-simulators
cmake -DUSE_MPI=1 -DWITH_NDEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-common;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-grid" $CURRENT_DIRECTORY/opm-simulators
make -j5 flow
cd ../..

Tip

You can create a .sh file (e.g., build_opm_mpi.sh), copy the previous lines, and run in the terminal source build_opm_mpi.sh

Source build in macOS

For macOS, there are no available binary packages, so OPM Flow needs to be built from source, in addition to the dune libraries (see the prerequisites, which can be installed using macports or brew). This can be achieved by the following lines:

CURRENT_DIRECTORY="$PWD"

for module in common geometry grid istl
do   git clone https://gitlab.dune-project.org/core/dune-$module.git --branch v2.9.1
done
for module in common geometry grid istl
do   ./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --only=dune-$module cmake -DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_MPI=1
     ./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --only=dune-$module make -j5
done

for repo in common grid simulators
do
    git clone https://github.com/OPM/opm-$repo.git
done

mkdir build

for repo in common grid
do
    mkdir build/opm-$repo
    cd build/opm-$repo
    cmake -DUSE_MPI=0 -DWITH_NDEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-common/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-grid/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-geometry/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-istl/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-common" $CURRENT_DIRECTORY/opm-$repo
    make -j5 opm$repo
    cd ../..
done

mkdir build/opm-simulators
cd build/opm-simulators
cmake -DUSE_MPI=0 -DWITH_NDEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-common/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-grid/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-geometry/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-istl/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-common;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-grid" $CURRENT_DIRECTORY/opm-simulators
make -j5 flow
cd ../..

In addition, use at least a Python version of 3.10 (due to the resdata Python package).
