We have a new, experimental installation approach for FEniCS that is based on
Vagrant and virtual machines. It will hopefully make the installation of FEniCS
simple and easy on a wide variety of platforms. Instructions on using Vagrant
for FEniCS can be found at:
https://bitbucket.org/garth-wells/fenics-virtual
So far, it’s been tested on Windows, OSX and various Linux distributions. If
you try it out, any feedback is very welcome (both successes and failures).
Specific technical issues can be registered at
https://bitbucket.org/garth-wells/fenics-virtual/issues
Recent versions of Vagrant support Docker (Linux containers), so we may look to
integrate the work of Lizao Li on Docker into an ‘official’ Vagrant-based VM
and Docker installation system.
The Vagrant-based system for FEniCS builds on the work of Jack Hale.
