PetSc installation
- durwood.marshall
Installing PetSc in your home directory.
PetSc is a complex suite of programs that is best installed in your home directory. This will allow access to all the makefiles corresponding to different downloaded programs that you might add. Due to the size of this program, your default home directory will be insufficient to hold the following installation. Please contact via email cluster-support@tufts.edu to inform us of your PetSc needs and an adjustment to your home directory quota will be requested.
