First, you can get the MANGO source code by cloning the git repository:
> git clone https://github.com/hiddenSymmetries/mango.git
MANGO requires MPI. There are also several optional dependencies, including the Catch2 unit testing framework and various optimization libraries. Several of these dependencies can be installed in the external_packages directory of MANGO. There, you can run the scripts install_nlopt, install_hopspack, and install_catch2 to download the relevant packages. Note that Catch2 is not needed to run optimizations with MANGO, only to run the tests. There is no script in the external_packages directory to install GSL or PETSc; these packages are installed on many HPC systems, or you can install them yourself by consulting the documentation for these packages.
Presently MANGO is built using gnu make. Settings that are specific to different computers, such as the paths to various include files and libraries, are set in the file makefile.system-dependent. If you are building MANGO on a machine for which there is not a relevant section in this file, you can copy one of the existing sections to make a new section for your machine. Note that in this file, each machine has a section like
These variables control which optization packages MANGO is built with. You can set each variable to T or F as you like.
Then, the MANGO library and examples are built by running
> make -j
(The -j option tells make to use multiple threads to make compiling faster.)
If successful, the files mango/lib/libmango.a and mango/include/mango_mod.mod will be created. The latter may have different capitalization, depending on the fortran compiler. Also, executables for the examples will be built in mango/examples/bin/.
