Install Ubuntu prerequisites for EMOD source code

This section describes the software packages or utilities must be installed on computers running Ubuntu 22.04 to build the Eradication binary for Linux from source code and run regression tests.

If additional software is needed for the prerequisite software due to your specific environment, the installer for the prerequisite software should provide instructions. For example, if Microsoft MPI v10 requires additional Visual C++ redistributable packages, the installer will display that information.

Note

IDM does not provide support or guarantees for any third-party software, even software that we recommend you install. Send feedback if you encounter any issues, but any support must come from the makers of those software packages and their user communities.

Install prerequisites for running simulations

The following software packages are required to run simulations using the Eradication binary for Linux. You can skip this section you already installed the pre-built Eradication.exe using the instructions in Install for generic, Install for HIV, or Install EMOD for malaria.

Install prerequisites for compiling from source code

For Ubuntu 22.04, all prerequisites for building the Eradication binary for Linux are installed by the setup script described above. However, if you originally installed EMOD without including the source code and input files that are optional for running simulations using a pre-built Eradication binary for Linux, rerun the script and install those.

Install prerequisites for running regression tests

The setup script includes most plotting software required for running regression tests, where graphs of model output are created both before and after source code changes are made to see if those changes created a discrepancy in the regression test output. For more information, see Regression testing.
