QSS Solver: first time how-to¶

This page summarizes how to get the QSS solver up and running.

Compilation¶

• First, download the source code here.
• Make sure you have the following dependencies installed in your system (in a Debian/Ubuntu-like environment, you can use apt-get to retrieve them):
  • libconfig-dev
  • gfortran
  • libqt4-dev
  • bison++
  • libgsl0-dev
  • libscotch-dev
  • libmetis-dev
  • libginac-dev
  • libsbml5-dev (if you are using Ubuntu, you can download the binaries here as the package is no longer on its repositories)
  • libpatoh (download it here and copy the library file to src/libs/)
  • gnuplot-x11 (this is needed in order to generate plots to visualize simulation results)

• Once this is done, change to the src directory and run make.

Configuration¶

• After building, you should copy the following files to the bin directory:
  • deploy/linux/qss-solver.ini
  • deploy/linux/scripts/*
• Also, run the bash script bin/registervars.sh.
  • This script sets permanent environment variables that are required by the QSS solver and other tools such as the comparison tool (see here for further information).
