Build SAM

Prerequisites

SAM relies on the MOOSE framework. We build MOOSE by following the instructions on the MOOSE website first.

Install Mambaforge3

For Linux users:

1
2

curl -L -O https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/mambaforge3

After installing, put Mambaforge’s path to system environment PATH:

1

export PATH=$HOME/mambaforge3/bin:$PATH

so that the system recognizes the mamba command.

Then initialize mambaforge by

1

mamba init

This command will append several mamba initialization to your ~/.bashrc file. Since I use zsh, I moved those lines from ~/.bashrc to ~/.zshrc.

Then restart the terminal.

Install MOOSE

1. Add the INL public channel to Conda:

   1	conda config --add channels https://conda.software.inl.gov/public

2. Create moose environment in Conda

   1	mamba create -n moose moose-dev

3. Activate the environment

   1	mamba activate moose

Clone SAM and Build

Clone SAM from ANL’s GitLab

1. Get an access token to the GitLab repository.

   GitLab -> Settings -> Access Tokens

2. Clone the SAM repository to your computer or cluster

   1 2 3

   mkdir ~/Documents cd ~/Documents git clone https://git-nse.egs.anl.gov/*YourUserName_or_SAM*/SAM.git

   It will ask you for the GitLab username and password. Use the access token you generated for the password.

Build libmesh

1. Get moose submodule

   1 2 3

   cd SAM git submodule init git submodule update --recursive

Build SAM

1. Build SAM

   1 2	cd ~/Documents/SAM make -j4

2. Run the tests

   1	./run_tests -j4

   If SAM was built correctly, all the tests will pass.
