# bout_install

Python package to install [BOUT++](http://boutproject.github.io) and its 
dependencies.

> **NOTE**: This package is meant as a "last resort" to install BOUT++, for 
example when you are not a `root` user, and you are trying to install on a 
"tricky" system.
Otherwise 
BOUT++ can easily be installed using 
[docker](https://bout-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_docs/installing.html#docker-image)
or installed as explained in the BOUT ++ [documentation](https://bout-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_docs/installing.html#installing-dependencies)
.

## Getting Started

`bout_install` is a lightweight package, and requires only `python3`, 
`requests` and an internet connection to run. 

Building `BOUT++` and dependencies can be done by executing

```python
from bout_install import install_bout
install_bout(config_path=None, add_to_bashrc=False)
```

or from command-line

```bash
install_bout --help
```

which returns

```
usage: install_bout.py [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-a]

Install BOUT++ with dependencies

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Path to the configuration file. See
                        bout_install/config.ini for details
  -a, --add_to_bashrc   If set, paths to binaries and libraries of
                        dependencies will be added to .bashrc
```

This will build BOUT++ and its dependencies according to the content of 
[`config.ini`](bout_install/config.ini):

```

### Installing from pip

The package can be installed from `pip`:

```bash
pip install bout_install
```

### Installing from source

Alternatively it can be installed from source

#### Prerequisites

The prerequisites can be installed through
[`requirements.txt`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#requirements-files):

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Running the tests

The test suite can be executed through `pytest` or through `codecov pytest-cov`.
Installation through

```bash
pip install pytest
```

or

```bash
pip install codecov pytest-cov
```

and run with

```bash
pytest
```

or

```bash
pytest --cov=./
```

respectively

> **NOTE:** Due to time constraints of automatic testing with Travis, the 
unittests have been "blinded" by adding a "." in front of the name. In this 
way `pytest` will ignore those test. "Un-blind" them by removing the leading "
." in order to run them.
