Setting up pyro#

You can clone pyro from github: python-hydro/pyro2

The following python packages are required:

  • numpy

  • matplotlib

  • numba

  • h5py

  • pytest (for unit tests)

The easiest way to install python is via PyPI using pip:

pip install pyro-hydro

Alternately, you can install from source. From the pyro2/ directory, we do:

pip install .

This will put the main driver, pyro_sim.py, in your path, and allow you to run pyro from anywhere.

If you intend on directly developing the solvers, you can instead do:

pip install -e .

This will allow you to modify the python source without having to reinstall each time something changes.

Quick test#

Run the advection solver to quickly test if things are setup correctly:

pyro_sim.py advection smooth inputs.smooth

You should see a plot window pop up with a smooth pulse advecting diagonally through the periodic domain.
